Hi everyone-

I’m going to be presenting my “History of Somerville, 2010-2100” project at Somerville’s Artbeat festival on Saturday, July 18. At noon, I’ll be giving a powerpoint presentation at the Somerville Theatre. After 1:30pm, I’ll be manning a Future Information table outside of the Theatre, where I’ll be handing out free timelines about the future, and talking about the coming 90 years with anyone who stops by.

I hope to see you there!

Tim

Here’s a sample of some of the predictions I’ve collected: http://timdevin.com/somerville-timeline.pdf

And here’s an article Julia Fairclough was nice enough to write about it, for the Somerville News:
