Whereas if you are a frustrated taxpayer, angry at the notion of a publicly subsidized Sodo basketball arena, then you also want to tell the NBA to go fuck itself.<br /><strong><br />Well have we got a t-shirt for you!</strong></p> <p>Idea by Dominic and Goldy, artwork by Derek Erdman.</p> <p><strong>Feeling lucky?

In learning how to grill with fire, cook with liquid, bake bread, and ferment everything from cheese to kimchi to beer, he discovered that the cook occupies a special place in the world, standing squarely between nature and culture. Both realms are transformed by cooking; and so, in the process, is the cook. </p> <p>More info and tickets <a href="http://www.seattlesymphony.org/symphony/buy/single/production.aspx?id=13302&src=t&dateid=13302">HERE</a>.</p> <p>[ <a href="http://www.thestranger.com/promotions/archives/2013/04/15/michael-pollan#comments">Comment on this story</a> ]</p> <p>[ <a href="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=16501784&amp;id=comments">Subscribe to the comments on this story</a> ]</p> Ticket Giveaway! http://www.thestranger.com/promotions/archives/2013/04/15/michael-pollan?show=comments#readerComments http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=16501784&id=comments 0 Michael Pollan Mon, 15 Apr 2013 14:23:23 -0700 The Stranger http://www.thestranger.com/promotions/archives/2013/04/02/chbp-premier-party http://www.thestranger.com/promotions/archives/2013/04/02/chbp-premier-party Catherine R.
