Have you ever wondered if beer makes you more fun to be around? Do you find yourself building an identity based on how other people treat you? Or is your job the most “you” thing about you? Identity is a tricky thing. Insecurities and egos are two of the biggest obstacles for friendships, relationships and everyday encounters. But what makes you, you? Do you want to find out while sipping a cocktail at the Perot Museum on Friday night? This month's theme for the adults-only night at the museum, Social Science, is “Identity.” Grab a date, buy a $18 ticket ($13 for members), and head to the Perot (2201 N. Field St.) at 7 p.m. Friday. More information at perotmuseum.org.
