He has authored or co-authored three books (Tax Shift, Quantum Microeconomics, and Quantum Microeconomics with Calculus) as well as articles that have appeared in newspapers (Seattle Times and P-I), peer-reviewed academic journals (Economic Inquiry, Ecological Economics), and even one "beer-reviewed" academic journal (Annals of Improbable Research).

He lives in Seattle, where he appears regularly at the Comedy Underground and runs a political comedy benefit show called Non-Profit Comedy.

YES, gorging ourselves with a delicious spread of local food is on the schedule again this year! Please bring a dish to share, last names A-L: main dish; M-Z: side or dessert. For those with restricted diets, reporting your ingredients is always appreciated (we’ll provide note cards and markers if you forget to ‘dish’ the ‘scoop’ on your contribution)! A cash bar with beer, wine and non-alcoholic beverages will also be on hand.

>>>TRANSPORTATION<<<

Please carpool or use alternative transportation if possible (free parking is available). We’d LOVE to see over 1/2 the crowd arriving by climate-friendly methods. The last 2 years was around 35%.
