It looks like the Dorkbot folks are still recovering from their “Strange Things” show back in December and January, but they’re getting back into the swing of it with a full new meeting in March. The dorks will be hosting an audio-themed event this month, with three guests: Jim Owen (electronic /orchestral composer), Doug Haire (Sonarchy, KEXP), and Mike McCracken (Audible Avatar). Dorkbot is no longer about people doing strange things with electricy… it’s about people just doing strange things. And if you go, you’re always guaranteed to see something brilliant you haven’t seen before.

If Charles Darwin were alive today, he’d be 199 years old. And, assuming he was still able and willing to travel at that advanced age, he might be amused to see anthropologist Richard Milner’s one-man musical about his life, presented next Wednesday at Town Hall. Milner draws on historic photographs, illustrations and thousands of letters between Darwin and his contemporaries, punched up with Gilbert and Sullivan song parodies. “The Darwin I have in my show is not the Darwin of The Origin of Species but the Darwin of the letters, who was a very, very interesting man,” says Milner. Song snippets are available at DarwinLive.com, and tickets, as usual, are just $5 at Town Hall.
