"The MetaQuizzical Cafe" is a musical science and philosophy salon which debuts as a weekly series during the Smithsonian's exhibition of BEYOND:Visions of Planetary Landscapes at the Petaluma Museum May 6-July 4.

Each event centers on the concept behind one of singer-songwriter Jim Ocean's original songs and is a spicy blend of live music, speaker interview and audience Q&A.

Expect wide-ranging and inspiring conversation and edutainment.

Speaker: TBA
Song: "Does Love Exist on Other Planets"
Description: Assuming life exists in other places, does love extend there also? A look at the controversy regarding whether or not it is wise to advertise our existence on earth to possible "others".
