Tea houses have played major roles in revolutions around the world and throughout history. At a new lecture series called "Coping with the New Economy," the organizers probably aren't trying to foment anything too serious, but they are giving us a spot to sit and listen and get jacked up on tea and ideas. The every-other-weekly talks start with a theme of "The Role of Technology in the New Economy," and feature Brian X. Chen of Wired and MacWorld and "serial entrepreneur" Mark Friedler. The price of admission includes fancy tea and the chance to contribute, in addition to an agreeable environment and the words of intelligent people.
