Just read about this in the NY Times and it sounds awesome - like a live version of the Straight Dope. With beer.
Official website is here
Next event is Thursday - I’ll be there for sure.
Other NY Dopers up for it?
Sounds like a great concept: The nerd as generalist, and (contextually) social animal. I like that. It subverts society’s, and maybe even nerddom’s own, stereotypes.
Unfortunately for me, I am so acutely aware of nerds, and NY is so full of them, that I get nerd panic attacks at times. So I probably would end up drinking too much of something other than beer, and engaging in loud caustic heckling.
Let’s hope the speakers are screened for a sense of humor.
This Thursday if my book swap night so I won’t make it this time. I will keep an eye out for future nerdy events though!
Thursday, hm? Suppose I could swing by after work.
