first fridays at the natural history museum? its pretty cool, music and people with the museum open to roam (night time)

It doesn't have to be a specific thing, but maybe painting, knitting, crochet, construction paper craft, really anything art.... :)

I wanted to put this out to the group- the LA Times, New York Times and Wired Magazine will be there. I'm going with a few friends from other MeetUp groups
The H+ Summit which takes place December 5th and 6th in Irvine. There will be almost 40 presentations from international luminaries, exploring such areas as longevity, information, culture, arts & entertainment, biology, AI, interaction and the senses!

Besides the summit there are 2 satellite events that might interest you:

* The IEET Biopolitics of Popular Culture Seminar on Friday at the same venue
* The FREE reception on Saturday, 8:30-Midnight.. Even If you can't attend the summit, come mingle with delightful futurists at the reception in the tented garden courtyard of the Hilton Regency Irvine - there will be a stocked bar, VJ Strangeloop and DJ Timeboy performing and of course some installations

"Sonatasia Presents a Holiday Evening with Maestro Beethoven" featuring actor Jeffrey Briar, who will be portraying Beethoven and will talk about his life and music as well as perform his music.
