make it a double

We realized when we were just about done seeing everything at the Bakken that the museum we'd really meant to see was the Pavek. It was open, and only 2 miles away, so we went there, too! Both awesome places to see, but I have to admit I liked the Pavek more; it caters more to collectors and geeks and has a everything-out-to-touch-and-experience feel more than a here's-this-old-thing-under-plexiglass feel of the Bakken, and we got a really great personal guided tour. Both museums have theremins in their collections, but the Pavek's is the one that's one of about 200 original RCA models. The Pavek is a museum about the history of broadcasting and recorded sound; the Bakken is a museum more about the history of the practical and medicinal uses for electricity. Anyway, we had a really really nice geeky date day.

Supposedly there si more hands on type stuff at the Bakken when you go to their Tuesday night "Happy Hour". Plus free wine and cheese.
