Colin Purrington, Associate Professor of Biology, Swarthmore College

Charles Darwin turned 200 in February, and his book On the Origin of Species turns 150 in late November. Colin Purrington, an evolutionary biologist at Swarthmore College who operates the online site The Axis of Evo, will discuss why both the man and ...his work remain significant today and worthy of celebration. He will leave time for the audience to come pose with a life-size cut out of Charles Darwin, so please bring your cameras and remember to wear something presentable. If the audience is good, he will also hand out "Charles Darwin has a posse" stickers and temporary tattoos to promote appreciation of evolution.

To celebrate the Columbia Legacy release of Leonard Cohen Live at the Isle of Wight 1970 DVD + CD and the second coming of Cohen to Philadelphia at Philadelphia’s soon-closing Spectrum (Oct 23), the Monday Night Club will host a tribute night to the singer, poet and raconteur on Monday Oct 19 at its Old City home, Nati...onal Mechanics. (22 S. 3rd St. 8:30 PM, free)


On Monday October 19, Columbia Legacy not only screens Leonard Cohen Live at the Isle of Wight 1970 and offers giveaways of the film’s soundtrack and DVD. Director Murray Lerner – a renowned Academy Award-winning documentarian who has lensed projects on Bob Dylan and Miles Davis – will appear to present the film, speak with the audience and sign copies of the film.


Appearing at the tribute to Cohen will be an array of some of Philadelphia’s finest hippest Cohen devotees – Kenn Kweder, Mary Ellen Desmond, The Armchairs, David E. Williams, Dani Mari, Technophobes and more.



The night starts at 8:30 pm, is free to the general public, and is co-sponsored by A.K.A. Records.



The Monday Night Club has, weekly for the last six years, played host to musicians, filmmakers, poets and performance artists as a place where experimentation is king and networking amongst its minions de rigeur. Against the comfortable homey backdrop of National Mechanics, the weekly event has become home to local and national acts looking to test the wonkiest of waters.

If you ever need a temp karaoke guy for when your guy needs a break, our nonprofit's DJ does karaoke at a couple of bars in Rox./Manayunk. I'm sure he'd be happy to fill in. Just shoot me a message. Would be happy to put you in touch.
