It’s like the Discovery Channel with booze, and where whiskey meets wisdom. Every third Wednesday of the month area nerds unite at Minibar on Broadway Blvd. to listen to various presentations about nerdy topics; from how to raise silkworms to the healing powers of Jin Shin Jyutsu. And in the spirit of Halloween, we hear a talk given by Melissa Lenos who teaches English at Donnelly College about the vampire boyfriend characters that suck blood and drain souls of their partners.

Alison Heryer and Jason Kovac started hosting Nerd Nites in KC this past April. Nerd Nites have been described a lot of ways, like where whiskey meets wisdom, and The Discovery Channel with beer.

They were first started in the Boston area in 2003 and have grown to be hosted all around the world. They even publish their own Nerd Nite Magazines which dives into a diverse array of nerdy topics.
