SUMMARY:Philosophy Think & Drink
DESCRIPTION:Fun Gatherings that Stimulate the Mind!\nOur Philosophy Think & Drinks are casual\, community-oriented gatherings that are intellectually stimulating and fun.  You don’t need a background in philosophy to enjoy & participate.  An open mind & desire to engage in thoughtful dialogue (whether from a listening or contribution standpoint) is all that’s needed!  For those who love philosophy but prefer not to partake in the libations side of things\, don’t let that stop you from participating in the fun.  We emphasize the think over the drink! \nWhen\n2nd Thursday of every month from 7pm-9pm \nWhere\nReeder’s Alley — In the colder months\, we’ll meet indoors in the Conference Center. In the warmer\, we’ll meet outdoors in the Pavilion.  \nOther\nLight snacks provided.  BYOB. \n \nHow Do They Work?\nStep into the dojo!  Our Think & Drinks are monthly gatherings that consist of a “meeting of minds” over libations.  After nabbing goodies and seats\, getting acquainted & settling in…the eve begins. \n\nNo topics are off-limit; no questions are too broad\, narrow\, abstract\, or concrete.  Questions are posed by participants in a “round-robin” fashion\, clarified\, and then voted upon collectively.\nOnce our “avenue of philosophical pursuit” is in place\, we’re ready to dive into a fun night of facilitated philosophical discussion.

Over the years\, he has played in 20 different bands covering the musical gamut – rock\, soul\, blues and jazz. “And one quasi-country group.” Johnny has been involved with four albums of original music. Two were group efforts (Diamond City and Uncharted Waters)\, and two were solo albums. “Well\,” says Johnny\, “those two featured lots of great friends.” His musical friendships led to the founding of Lost & Foundation\, a local nonprofit focused on ‘Music Helping Humanity.’  \n\n\n\n\n\nJohnny cites several musical influences. “The first was my father\,” he says. “Great jazz pianist.” Others include Steely Dan\, Billy Joel and\, perhaps most of all\, Randy Newman – “delightfully eccentric.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat’s the EveNING helping to support?\n\n\n\nAll proceeds raised will help support our Fall 2026 Art as Transformation Project — an innovative public philosophy program exploring the role of art in society & our everyday lives. Featuring a unique blend of live music\, story\, performance & media art\, and community conversation\, the program invites people to consider art and its relationship to human flourishing and personal\, civic\, and cultural change.
