Today sees the return of the Catalyst club: a unique monthly Brighton event on the second Thursday each month that "pays tribute to the old traditions of French Salon, debating societies and Gentlemen's clubs." It involves three guest speakers discussing "things close to their heart" - usually odd and unusual things - for fifteen minutes each.
These have previously included Bees, Emergence Theory, Hitler's Moustache, Victorian Lantern Shows, Cunnillingus, The exciting world of Slime Mould, Giant Squid and the Dawn of Civilisation.
Silly, fun and educating we suspect. There's some curious perplexing videos here, and we discovered it via @orbific.
There's more photos here, which all look quite interesting, and a bit more appealing and better quality than the videos.
It's held at Latest Music Bar on Manchester Street (that's a google map link). It costs £5 and starts at 8pm with a late bar, which I suspect stimulates the topics.
