Stupid Questions/Stupid Talents: Is Money Real?

Where did all the pennies go? Who decides the value of a dollar? Can’t I pay for my groceries with life advice? Some might call these stupid questions, but they are also real. And the older we get, the more afraid we are of asking them for fear of being called an idiot. Well not on this night! We invite you to bring the questions you’re afraid to ask, especially the ones about money. We’ll answer them collectively. We'll also have some experts on hand to help. You’ll also get a chance to see what hidden stupid talents our friends and neighbors have to offer. How large can you inflate a dollar store balloon? Can you guess the exact price of a pair of binoculars? Or decode the secret messages hidden beneath the surface? And if you can’t, don’t worry, we’ll have someone there for sure who will blow your mind with their skills! At the end of the night, you might discover that all of these stupid questions and stupid talents have led us to a not-so-stupid understanding of money and our relationship to it.
