Drinking with Dinosaurs

If you want to see some Dinosaurs next week, head over to the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in downtown Raleigh. The museum is sponsoring a free showing of the 1960-flick “Dinosaurs” at 7 p.m. Jan. 4. Click here for more details.

The featured movie is being aired as part of the museum’s First Friday event, which runs from 5 to 9 p.m. At the Jan. 4 event, visitors can check out the museum’s latest exhibit, “Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries” for a discounted $5 admission. You can buy beer and wine at the museum’s cafe and listen to the sounds of The Scarlet Divide, a local band that will perform at 6 p.m. Check out the band’s sound on its MySpace page.
