Some say “All good things must come to an end,” and so A/V Geeks will end their 15-year run of showing horror/monster/sci-fi/goofy films at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences on First Friday, May 6. Join us for this final celebration with a look back at all the fun we’ve had — with some of our favorite clips from films, First Friday trivia, silly costumes and more! But fear not. A new and improved movie night is in the works beginning this fall.
This will be the final time the Museum stays open from 5 to 9 p.m. on First Friday, inviting visitors to attend the A/V Geeks festivities, wander through eye-catching exhibits, groove to live music with Toynbee (led by guitarist/songwriter Ken Bowers, Director of Raleigh's City Planning and member of 1990s regional favorites Vanilla Trainwreck), and enjoy snacks and beverages from the Daily Planet Café. Additionally, the Museum Store offers after-hours shopping and an opening reception for Nancy Nieves (6–8 p.m.), whose show “A Personal Look at Nature,” runs May 6–29 in the Nature Art Gallery. All exhibited art is for sale.
