The History of Partying, The Bedford, 110 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn
From birthdays and promotions to weddings and graduations, we’re always finding reasons to party. The Society for the Advancement of Social Studies takes a look back at how we’ve danced, boozed and debauched the centuries away with three party-themed lectures. First up, there’s “The Patricians vs. The Plebeians vs. The Pious: Who Partied Hardest in Ancient Rome?” then “The Criminalization of Repetitive Beats and the Ongoing War against Bumpin' Dance Parties,” and “The Parting Glass: A brief History of Parties associated with Death & Funerals.” Admission is free and drink specials abound.
Wednesday, January 15 Secret Science Club The Bell House, 149 7th Street, Brooklyn
We’re happy to say that this week there’s finally a way to get smarter while you drink. The Secret Science Club bring us a brainy look at how math is more than just a way to split the bill after a night out. Join MIT physicist and author Max Tegmark as he explains how the universe itself is built on math. He’ll explore everything from theories on the multiverse to computer models of the brain and the probability of life outside the Milky Way. Admission is free.
