Featuring Parisian singer Mimi Pirard, SonoMusette authentically recreates the moody and evocative sound of the Paris music scene of the Mid-20th Century. SonoMusette’s renditions of these timeless French classics provide a freshness and excitement that is contemporary, yet faithful, to the spirit and tradition of the original artisits. This music has retained its power to charm and transport listeners and SonoMusette taps that nostalgia with artistry in both vocals and instrumentation. Inspired by the great performers of the era, such as Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Charles Trenet, and Django Reinhardt, along with contemporary musicians such as Zaz and Patrick Bruel, SonoMusette brings French Chanson to the “moderne” era.

Cacio e Pepe Artist Reception & Tarot Pop-Up at Pax Wines

Join us for art, wine & mini tarot readings!
Artist & co-creator of Cacio e Pepe Tarot Danielle Mainas will be in house, hosting free mini tarot readings to celebrate the release of her food-inspired deck.
“We titled this deck after the Italian pasta dish Cacio e Pepe, named for its main ingredients: cheese and pepper. In this tarot deck, Cacio e Pepe represents the traditional tarot card of The Lovers, which is one of the trickier cards to describe in traditional tarot. There are various interpretations out there, but put simply, The Lovers is about connection. Our deck is about the connection between sustenance and love and the connection between food and tarot. When Cacio e Pepe came through as the dish to represent The Lovers, we felt that it also represented this entire deck, a project about connecting the dots in love, in life and in divination.”
Tarot decks & large format tarot art will be available for purchase.

Science Buzz Cafe # 539 Travels in China: Unknown to Americans! w/ Warren Wiscombe, PhD
2025-02-24 18:00 - 19:30 | Hopmonk Tavern Sebastopol, 230 Petaluma Ave., Sebastopol, Ca, 95472, United States
Travels In China with Warren Wiscombe, PhD
Observations on the ways of China” Will they leave us in the dust?
China has become an exotic travel destination for Westerners. I was invited to give two lectures in China in June 2024, so my wife and I took this opportunity to travel around China afterwards with tour guide Jerry. What we encountered was mind blowing, radically changed from our trip there in 2005, and largely unknown to Americans. In this lecture I will describe the strange and amazing things we saw, from smaller things like cosplay, robots in our hotels, and being constantly gawked at as if we were aliens, to large things like constant surveillance, endless rows of 30-story apartment buildings, and bullet trains traveling over 200 mph. And I will share some observations on the ways China seems to be pulling ahead of us.
