Below, just a few photos from Nerd Nite at Teatro Zuccone in Downtown Duluth, November 2011.
Nerds, can you chime in with your best memories?

75+ attendees at Nerd Nite -- biggest yet?
a carefully crafted stage...
legos, axis and allies, and beer...
enthusiasm for gaming defines a subculture of the twin ports

I liked it when the emcee shut off the computer.

I think I might have to do a presentation at Nerd Nite on properly resizing images for posts on PDD.

Until then, here are the Cliff Notes.

By the way Rhetoric Guy, it's starting to get weird how we keep going to the same events and never talk to each other.

Refresher, please. What is Nerd Night?

Hi, Paul,

I never see that deerstalker.  To find me, look for the fattest professor type at any event.

These are hotlinked images to another site (they are three megs originally and so were too large to upload, so I posted them to FB and linked those images to here;  what's the fix to resize when you are using the [img] button on the post?  Add some kind of html after the code appears in the post? width="450"?

I'll try that.  More soon!

Nope.  That did nothing.

Put it in the wrong spot.  Before the alt=tag.  Got it.

About Nerd Ntite:
http://duluth.nerdnite.com/

"Nerd Nite is 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.
We are based out Teatro Zuccone (222 E. Superior) and utilize this great setting to provide intellectually useless presentations to our audience, plus games, quizzess, music and door prizes.
Nerd Nite Duluth is constantly recruiting presenters to join us on stage and share their acquired "wisdom."
Previous presentations include:
*Macroeconomics in World of Warcraft
*How to meet the opposite sex without revealing your nerdiness
*How to survive a Zombie Uprising in the Twin Ports
*Mac vs. PC - which should you buy?
*How does Time Travel Work?
* Geocaching
Presenters gain free admission (and possibly a PBR)
Presentations are 15 minutes long with Q&A.
Nerd Nite provides the projector, laptop and laser pointer, along with emotional support and canned questions."
