Tickets aren't available yet, but they will be soon enough. It's a great lecture to attend if you are in the L.A. area. Check this out at www.getty.edu

Most of the time I'm happy in Austin, but every now and again something like this comes along that makes me wish that I lived in L.A.

I'd be curious to hear what they have to say.

I'll post some notes here if I can get tickets. Usually tickets for something like this go pretty fast.

Ooh, this sounds excellent! Especially since Pressfield will most likely have things to say about ancient Greece and perhaps Sparta in particular! I will definitely try to get a reservation, although the drive from the South Bay to Malibu on a weeknight isn't very appealing.

Thanks so much for posting this! I never would have found it in the Getty newsletter I just leafed through yesterday.

I've offered to help put a podcast up on their Web site; we'll see.
