Another “Awesome” Nerdnite — Feb. 27
The next Nerdnite will be our second event presented in conjunction with the Awesome Foundation. We’re very excited to have two Awesome grantees coming to Nerdnite to tell us about their exciting and nerdy work. This will all go down Monday Feb. 27, 2012, at 8pm at Middlesex Lounge. As always, DJ Claude Money will provide nerd-appropriate tunes.
