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
Two-time Nerd Nite San Francisco alum Rich Ross kicks off the night with a talk about the tiny, fascinating pygmy seahorses that hide on coral in the Philippines. Nerd Nite fans know we have a thing for boats. Olaf Elander will walk us through how a ship that was once owned by President Roosevelt was bought by Elvis Presley, sold and used to smuggle drugs, and finally found a home in Oakland. Then Stanford’s Margot Gerritsen will share how linear algebra is both useful and beautiful.
Your hosts Rick and Rebecca, DJ Citizen Zain, and the Oakland Public Library will make sure you’re entertained and educated.
