let's see..the last time I was there was when Terry Tempest Williams spoke..a Mormon and environmentalist, she has written some good books..straight talking and no BS about the beauty of America so easily destroyed by ignorance and greed...no BS. The Museum is a beautiful place... it is also a non-profit and some questionable activities are taking place there...I know the times are tough, but raising money catering to booze hounds is pretty low and another lame-brain idea from the events manager, fat lady Meridith Moore..I wonder how much money these people make.....Mission:To enlighten the public by developing and presenting fundamental knowledge of natural history research, so as to teach and inspire a lifelong passion and abiding respect for the natural world.
how does getting drunk enlighten anybody??..BOOZE PARTIES!!?? WTF is going on over there.. Who is pushing all this liquor? Recently they had a wine party at Ty Warner's Biltmore disguised as a star gazing event: next they are going to have a beer tasting event..and the kicker: HAPPY HOUR Fridays at 5 before Fiesta..TEQUILA TASTINGS!!

SAVE THE DATE for the next Fridays@5 on September 4.

This is preposterous! Tequila tasting at the Museum of Natural History..I know Indians like booze, but what has this got to do with history..the history of Fiesta alcoholics??
The events manager has got her head up her ass..and I think alot of this is pushed by Ty Warner who gave money to the Sea Center and now probably owns the Museum staff...pathetic

here's a little email exchange with the executive director:
to: What is the matter with you people??..wine festivals, beer and Tequila tastings..promoting alcohol for what? education? the children? drunk driving? alcholism...what does this have to do with the museum?
I'll be investigating this pathetic display by the Museum soon...

I enjoy trying new wines and a tequila party sounds like fun. But I don't patronize any events where liquor is part of the ticket price because I don't drink and drive.
What if these nonprofits were to partner with some transit agency or company and provide people rides home, either for free or for a nominal fee like $5?
Remember now, it's all for the children.
OK Red..I appoint you Hall Monitor for these events...
Mommy..don't forget the animals, too!
Hall monitor... hmm.
Ya know, I was thinking about auditioning for the Brawlin' Betties. I could tie my red locks up into a tight bun, don big horn-rimmed glasses, and skate as the "Hall Monitor from Hell."
Get out of my way, bitches.
