Can't Miss It: Monday

TALK ABOUT YOUR HEALTH: Founder of Bastyr University and chief science officer for Metagenetics, Jeffrey Bland, Ph.D., thinks we should be focusing on "biochemical individuality derived from genetic and environmental differences." Seems practical enough. He'll be speaking on the matter tonight and, if you're interested in the ongoing debate about how to fix our healthcare system, you should check out his talk, entitled Healthcare Reform 2008: Creating a True Health Care System.

7:30 p.m. // Town Hall // $5 at the door

IT'S NOT SO BLACK AND WHITE: Silent Movie Mondays at the Paramount are back, and tonight's feature is When the Clouds Roll By, circa 1919. If, like this Seattlest, you haven't been to SMM, we understand it's a darn good time. This one is starring Douglas Fairbanks, and featuring Dennis James on "The Mighty Wurlitzer Organ." Get your old-timey on, and hunker down far from the madding SIFF crowds.

HOW TO WIN BACK THE WHITEHOUSE: Are you a big ol' Obama-loving progressive (or Hillary apologist) looking for every opportunity to get together with your fellow left-leaning political enthusiasts for an evening to talk about how we're going to take back our country? Well, you're in luck. Tonight at Elliot Bay, political strategist Robert Creamer will be gathering others like you together, as he reads from his book, Listen to Your Mother: Stand Up Straight! How Progressives Can Win.
