Seven reasons Monday night is better than you'd think
Karaoke in Downingtown, trivia in Doylestown and Lansdale, and telescopes on a library terrace in Kennett Square.
Monday gets a bad rap. Tonight there's a song workshop at a 1790 grist mill in New Hope, karaoke at a Downingtown golf tavern, and two trivia nights within thirty miles of each other. The Chester County Astronomical Society is teaching telescope basics in Downingtown, and later the telescopes go up on the terrace in Kennett Square. All of it is happening on a Monday.
-
A two-hour workshop on turning a song into a scene rather than a recital, run by a working performer inside the Playhouse itself. Six o'clock, ages thirteen and up, no audition. "Broadway quality shows without the prices," Ed says on Google.
-
Karaoke with DJ Teal Tuesday from six to eight at the tavern inside Downingtown Country Club. Open to the public, so round up a table and pick something bold. "Great selection of tap beers and well made food!" Michaela says on Google.
-
The Semiquincentennial Book Club takes on Walter Isaacson's book about the second sentence of the Declaration of Independence. Six thirty, copies at the circulation desk. "The library staff are super helpful," Bernadette says on Google.
-
The standing Monday quiz, two hours from seven, with beer specials running alongside. On Main Street since 1987, kitchen open until ten. "Fun trivia night and great food," Alex says on Google.
-
The Chester County Astronomical Society covers what you can actually see up there, star clusters and nebulae and planets, and which telescope to start with. Seven o'clock, Krapf Room, an hour, free.
-
Monday trivia at seven thirty, and it lands in the middle of Lansdale Restaurant Week, so the move is prix fixe first, questions after. The wings have a following. "THE GARLIC PARM WINGS AND ONION RING ARE TO DIE FOR," Rochelle says on Google.
-
Telescopes go up on the Melton Terrace after closing, weather permitting. Nine o'clock, free, no registration, and one of the few things running late on a Monday night in town.
