"The MetaQuizzical Cafe"
A Musical Science and Philosophy Salon 

Tasty Edutainment for the Heart and Mind


 

Are you curious about the world around you?

Do you marvel at human innovation and scientific discovery?

Do you wonder what makes the human heart, mind and soul tick?

Do you find yourself asking how we humans can be so smart and well . . . so not?

Do you like to explore the comedies and tragedies of human experience?

Do you like music that makes you feel and think?



THEN YOU'LL LOVE THE METAQUIZZICAL CAFE


The MetaQuizzical Cafe is musical edutainment for those hungry for knowledge and meaning.
Each unique event centers on the scientific or philosophical concept behind one of singer-songwriter
Jim Ocean's original songs and is a spicy blend of live music, science news, "meta-quiz", speaker interview
and audience Q&A. A stimulating food-for-thought potluck concocted from the interplay
between the audience, musicians, speakers, and hosts Jim and Kathy Ocean.
