D-Day - Cal Academy Launches Nightlife with Darwin Party

Every Thursday night, beginning February 12, Cal Academy will defy the stodgy museum stereotype by morphing into a happenin' hotspot reverberating with provocative ideas, music, mingling, and cocktails; as visitors are treated to the rare opportunity to explore the museum at night.
The weekly party kicks off, naturally enough, with a celebration of Charles Darwin's 200th birthday, and the launch of EVOLVE 2009 – San Francisco’s celebration of the Darwin anniversaries. DJ Fluid and J-Boogie from Om records are on the turntables, snakes are circulating for you to meet, and Darwin's Carnival presents an adult spin on evolution. Get the inside scoop on the young Charles Darwin during an informal talk by renowned natural history professor Keith Thomson.



NightLife events run from 6-10pm, and are open to adults ages 18 and up. Show up early to buy tickets for Feb 12 as advance tix are sold-out online. At $8-$10, a night at the museum is a steal.

Keith Thompson conversation is at 7:00. Seating is limited and on a first-come, first-served basis.
