The idea of dancing and drinking while dinosaurs watch is appealing to me. I can’t possibly be the only one who wants to do this, and Fernbank makes that possible with Martinis and IMAX. They have the IMAX movies of course, all about beautiful things like butterflies and Alaska, but they also have live music, which starts 30 minutes after you can buy your first drink. They make sure you have a little liquid courage before you are encouraged to swing dance. This week’s band is Abby Wren and What It Is, which is a group described as “southern-fried funk.” I don’t know exactly what that is, but it sounds amazing! As does the idea of doing something like dancing and laughing with gusto in a place where you’re usually asked to be quiet. It’s like breaking the rules times 100 – you can’t beat that!
