CANCELED: Nerd Nite East Bay: Geeky Lectures in a Bar | Oakland
This event is on indefinite hiatus
Nerd Nite East Bay is a monthly lecture-in-a-bar series. They get smart and interesting people, give them lots of free drinks, and put them on stage in front of a couple hundred tipsy nerds.
Sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it’s salacious, and it’s always nerdy.
Nerd Nite East Bay
Every last Monday | Doors at 7 pm; Talks begin at 7:30 pm
The Uptown Nightclub, 1928 Telegraph in Oakland
$8 in advance; $10 at the door | 21+
Please note that Nerd Nite East Bay moved to their new location at The Uptown Nightclub.
Last Update: 2/11/20 – Event Link
Mary Roach will discuss her new book, Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War. Then, J. Kenji López-Alt will share some myths about cooking steak and his James Beard-winning book The Food Lab. Finally, self-proclaimed queen-of-shitty-robots Simone Giertz will share the why behind her art.
As usual, doors/bar/food (GCG) are at 7. As is Ann-Marie Benz’s Detention (their social program before the talks). This month, we’ll build some shitty robots.We’ll also have Alameda’s Books Inc. out with copies of both Mary and Kenji’s books. Please support this great local independent bookseller and enjoy the two amazing works.
Finally: Rick, Rebecca, DJ Ion the Prize, and the Oakland Public Library will eat nachos with their pants off.
