Close your eyes and imagine a world where children are encouraged to learn about science, instead of being chastised for participating in it. In this world, there are no "dorks," "geeks" or "dweebs," but a population of future doctors, engineers, manufacturers and geniuses with the education, brainpower and motivation to dream up the next amazing invention, to solve the environmental problems of our era or even just think of a faster way to solve "2 + 2." Now imagine you in the same environment with a cocktail in your hand. Hands On Children's Museum presents its last Adult Swim of the year. Find a sitter and head to the museum to explore and play through luminescent, glow-in-the-dark and light-up art and science activities. Experiment with chemiluminescence, analyze bioluminescence and get your body painted with phosphorescence. Warning: Sometimes cocktails produce interesting chemistry between adults.

ADULT SWIM, 6:30-9:30 p.m., Hands On Children's Museum, 414 Jefferson St. NE, Olympia, $20, 360.956.0818
