Looks like fun! “DJ/Rupture’s cooption of the Museum of Natural History on Friday the 13th’s installment of One Step Beyond — rocking a crowd of eager, clean-soled hipsters beneath the hanging sphere of the Rose Planetarium…During the evening’s last star show, we stumbled in to the planetarium in time to watch the Moon being formed from the Earth’s geologic detritus, and enjoy the roar of the drunken audience’s cheers as Earth narrowly survived an astroid collision. Watching the universe unfold anew with a crowd of excited 20 and 30 somethings was just as magical as our first 3rd grade field trips, plus there was beer. Too bad we all had to leave at 1 a.m. on the dot. What was this, a museum or something?” Via Paper.
