Al Gore at Borders Books and Music - N State St
Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore is one of the few people ballsy enough to tour with a PowerPoint presentation—which he gives to sold-out venues across the nation. Despite his portrayal in countless late-show comedy bits as being a rigid and humorless guy, Gore’s lectures convey the charm usually associated with a man of his background (he grew up in the South) and the measured storytelling that any good politician possesses. This Borders book-signing is a chance to see him up much closer than his previous stop in town at the Chicago Theatre, though his rhetoric will be pretty familiar: He’s appearing here behind his newest book, Our Choice: A Plan To Solve The Climate Crisis.
