I love the idea of this monthly series at Union Hall. I haven't made it over there yet but I plan to. Eventually.

Adult Education is a Brooklyn-based monthly lecture series devoted to making useless knowledge somewhat less useless. In June, Adult Education welcomes a panel of presenters to speak on the theme of "Urban Travel."

The line-up will include:

EDDIE JABBOUR, "Building a Better Subway Map"
Can the NYC subway map be improved? Designer Eddie Jabbour thinks so.

SUZANNE REISMAN, "Take the A Train"
Author Suzanne Reisman provides a guide to hidden treasures along the A
train's route.

MATT MURO, "The Passive-Aggressive Turd From the Suburbs"
How one man learned about the true nature of his soul after building
what he thought was a silly website:

CULLY LONG, "Underground Life Drawing"
On the subway, you might see people reading, sleeping, listening to
music, or just generally zoned out. Cully Long sees models for his
sketches.

All hosted by Charles Star.
