You might consider it to be a little early to be telling you about events in November, but given the line up, we're pretty sure the tickets are going to go quick. The Chicago Tribune's resident architecture critic, Blair Kamin, spread the news that the Chicago Architecture Foundation has announced that they will be holding a panel discussion, A Conversation with the Critics: Imagining the Future of the City, on November 5th at the Murphy Auditorium downtown. But we've teased you with all this unnessary reading thus far. Here are the goods:

Participants include: Jonathan Glancey (The Guardian), Paul Goldberger (The New Yorker), Sarah Williams Goldhagen (The New Republic), and Blair Kamin (Chicago Tribune). The panel will be moderated by Edward Lifson, cultural critic on Public Radio and on the blog Hello Beautiful!

Maybe it's just because this writer lives here in Chicago and maybe stuff like this happens all the time in New York or London or some other big cultural hub, but we read a lot (we mean, a lot a lot) of design news and get seventy press releases an hour and we can't remember ever hearing of a get together like this. Or maybe we're just such architecture criticism nerds and this is what gets us giddy (read: this is exactly what it is). So we'll be there, in the front row. Assuming you don't snatch up our tickets first. Wait...ignore this whole post.
