through the looking glass

i spent a fun and somewhat surreal evening at the natural history museum last night. i went for the first fridays series, where they open up the museum at night and have djs spin and bands play. i've never been to the natural history museum here before and it was kind of strange seeing people mingling and bands performing in the midst of these old dioramas (which my friend said were first constructed around 1930). the bird and the bee also performed and they were excellent. they did a cover of the bee gee's "how deep is your love" that i'd never heard before. it gave me a new appreciation for the bee gees. before them a band called jukebox the ghost was on and they were surprisingly good as well. i wish i had taken more pictures of the museum but you can see a few shots below.
