I went to an awesome event tonite - at the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) which is a couple of blocks from my place there was a 'Mix Mingle Think' on the theme of conspiracy theories. So much fun!
A ticket into the event got admission to a lecture by a journalist who's been writing about conspiracy theories (he spoke for about half an hour and was really interesting), then we all went upstairs to a cool room with drinks and nibbles... and a game of True/ False where they had objects from the ROM collection at different tables which had two possible descriptions of the object (eg dinosaur bone or lady's wrist rest) and you picked which one you thought was right... there were prizes for the most correct answers, which we didn't win even tho Sarah is an Historian of material culture! ;)
The real point of the T/F game, of course, was to get ppl mixing as we moved around the various tables with drinks in our hands... and altho some people had come with partners it was a bit of a singles event too, so those of us who had come with mates rather than wedding rings started chatting with each other and looking around the room...
The man of my dreams wasn't there, but we met a couple of nice guys to go out for more drinks with... and had a lovely time chatting late into the evening.
It was awesome - a great combination of brains and booze - and as we walked hom we agreed that perhaps we might check it out again next month...

Speaking of months, altho this is supposed to be the 30th Sept post, it's now actually a couple of hours into the 1st of October... which is not only the one month anniversay of my birthday, and my friend Carleen's birthday, but also the three month anniversary of the start of sabbatical! Quarter of the way into te tau okioki already! Oy ;)
