It's kind of an odd double bill, but not as much once you know the connection: Michael J. Fox is making an appearance tomorrow night at City Arts & Lectures in conversation with author Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemna, The Botany of Desire), who also happens to be Fox's brother-in-law. Pollan's sister, Tracy Pollan, is Fox's wife and former co-star on Family Ties. And we're giving away a pair of tickets! Write a haiku in the Comments section with the words, "omnivore" and "fox" and enter to win a pair of tickets to the SOLD OUT 8 p.m. event at the Herbst Theater on Friday. The winner will be notified by 12:30 p.m. tomorrow. Proceeds from regular premium ticket sales go to benefit the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's disease research.

Michael J. Fox in conversation with Michael Pollan, Herbst Theater, 8 p.m., Friday, May 1st.

UPDATE: And the winner is... Emily Hemingway, whose haiku, truly, is pure poetry (we forgive the 8-syllable second line and omitting the word 'fox' because we're liberal like that, and because she worked in "parkinson's" instead, which we didn't think would be easy to fit):

shaky knees feet freeze
slowly the omnivore of life
Parkinson's disease
