Two local non-profit groups I belong to plan on having a free,
public Darwin Day birthday bash on February 12th to celebrate his
triumphant scientific achievement. The target audience is all
adults at least on the college level. We're trying to come up with ideas
about suitable events we can put on over the space of about 3-4 hours.
We've already recruited some biology and anthropology professors to talk
a little about evolution, philosophy of science, etc. We also plan on
showing video clips from a few documentaries on evolution and things like
that. I'd like to get constructive suggestions from you all about other
creative things we might do at the celebration (no sarcastic
or hostile suggestions please:)).

In particular, I'm interested in knowing the names of specific VHS or DVD
titles that might be useful to us. For example, I've checked out
attenborough's "Origin of Species: An illustrated guide", as well as
"Inherit the Wind" and may use a small sample from a Duckman comic on
"Eggvolution" or Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life". What other movies
contain interesting or fun stuff about evolution which we might be able
to work into a presentation?

Also, what kind of music is there about evolution and Darwin and such?
Does anyone have their own favorites, and if so, what are they?

Here are some other things we are thinking about:
We are thinking of cooking up a cake shaped roughly like the
famous darwin fish. We may also serve fish shaped cookies.

What other food ideas might be cool? Maybe jello or punch related?

We might try to get a lifesized cardboard cutout of Darwin's
likeness as a prop.

For advertising were thinking of doing things like sidewalk
chalking around campus, distributing flyers, using free announcements on
public radio, etc. We thought we might use the the line "Got Darwin?"
and any other short catchy slogans. Any suggestions here would be
appreciated. We do already know about the DarwinDay.org and we will be
availing ourselves of the many resources available there.

Thanks for any help you can provide us. We will be sure to let
folks know how the event went.
