CRIME PAYS BUT BOTANY DOESN'T with host JOEY SANTORE Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't is a Low-Brow, Crass Approach to Plant Ecology & Evolution as muttered by a Misanthropic Chicago Italian. We study plants through the lens of ecology and evolution, rather than what supposed anthropocentric uses they can provide (as if holding up the biosphere wasn't enough). Joey Santore is a botanist, artist, author and ex-railroader who travels the world documenting plant life. He is the host and producer of the youtube channel Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't and was the host of a small-scale tv show called Kill Your Lawn. He advocates for native plants, building a closer human relationship with Earth's plant life, and a re-thinking of modern American horticulture and landscaping due to its mundane disconnection from both ecological and biological reality. His new book 'Concrete Botany' (release date April 7th) is a gritty, kick-in-the-guts look at the ecological disturbance humans have caused and the resilience of the plants living amongst it.   Friday, June 5th 2027 Doors at 6:30 / Show at 7:30 21+ This is a seated show.  Advance General Admission Ticket: $25 + fees  Day of Show GA Ticket: $30 + fees
