I went to the latest offering from the Bowling Club (that collective that is holding "cultural events" once a month), this one hosted and presented by Andrew Putter, and I was blown away. It was a lecture on the science, culture and history of smells, along with a box of samples (some pleasant, some very, very mean). I think it's quite well known that smell has a direct link to memory and emotion, but I never before realized the breadth and depth of the industry that exploits that. And I guess that makes for a very good lecture, both interesting and illuminating. Keep your eyes open for more offerings from the collective.
