Join us this Saturday for nerd nite at 12 Bar in the Warehouse District!!!

This weekend is special not only because we are hosting a series of events for an exciting guest from New York, but because it will also be the first event hosted by co-boss-in-absentia Don Cambria. Come down to 12 Bar on Saturday from 6-9 to cheer him on, buy him a beer, and make him feel welcome in our little nerd family.

NERD NITE PRESENTATIONS INCLUDE:

Butchery on Bond Street, by Benjamin Feldman

Remember O.J. Simpson and poor Nicole Brown? We were glued to the set, watching that Ford Bronco streak down the freeway, then lapped up front page coverage for months on end. Roll back the camera to 1857 and switch gender roles. New York’s Dr. Harvey Burdell richly deserved to die. Join historian and raconteur Benjamin Feldman as he regales you with the grisly story of the life and death of a misogynist dentist who filled his female patient’s cavities while they screamed. New York papers covered nothing else for eight months after Burdell finally got what was coming to him. An ex-lover, Emma Cunningham, a widow with five children whom he raped and impregnated, was taken to jail. But that’s just the start…

Superasers, by Abigail Feldman (no relation to Benjamin!)

Inspired by her childhood eraser collection, Abigail began a project to write a children’s book. She will tell you the story of a graphite world, where a group of erasers exists whose sole purpose is to erase away mistakes that happen. One day everything goes wrong when one of the erasers starts erasing away things he’s not supposed to.
