If you're in Wellington on Monday, 28 February, bowl along to Nerdnite. I'll be one of the presenters.

What's Nerdnite? Well the unofficial tagline is "It's like the Discovery Channel ... with beer!", but according to the mother site it's "an informal gathering at which nerds get together for nerdery of all sorts (well, mostly presentations and drinking). Nerds and non-nerds alike gather to meet, drink and learn something new. Born in Boston and fostered in New York, Nerd Nite has spread to Austin, TX, Munich, Germany, Washington DC and has just reached Chicago, Wellington, and San Francisco!"

Actually, it'll be Wellington's fourth Nerdnite. It's become so popular that organisers Brian Calhoun and aimee whitcroft (sic) have had to find a bigger venue. This year they hope to take it bi-monthly.

Entrance is free and you'll find full details on the Wellington Nerdnite site. So, as they say, be there and be square!
