Books can take you to faraway places, and apparently they can also take you to OMSI…to find even more books. Tonight’s OMSI After Dark theme is Books and Brews, so it’s basically like if the Scholastic Book Fair got a little boozy. In addition to all the books ‘n’ booze to peruse, there’ll be planetarium shows, The Science of Roasting Coffee with Keia Booker, Literary Burlesque with Nina Nightshade, tons of themed vendors, and demonstrations involving chemistry and the science behind that classic bookstore smell. OMSI, 1945 SE Water Ave., 503-797-4000, omsi.edu. 6-10 pm Wednesday, Sept. 25. $25.
