Bug Sex: Weird, Wet, and Wicked - Karyn Light-Gibson
Invertebrates (those without a spine) make up 95% of all animal life on this planet; therefore, it should come as no surprise that their sex lives are varied, complicated, and even deadly. This talk delves into the surprisingly sweet, to dispelling some myths, to the downright disgusting sex lives of bugs.
An Evil System - Tammy Boyle
Will be speaking on both how cults work overall and their personal experience in a specific cult called "The Word of God"
Talking Tolkien: A Middle-earth FAQ - Tony Meade
What are the most-asked, most-discussed, and most-disagreed-upon questions about J.R.R. Tolkien’s fictional universe? Nerd Nite alumnus Tony Meade presents answers to Middle-earth’s most popular debates, based on the source texts, Tolkien’s own observations, and expert scholarly opinion.
afterparty -
Diebolt Brewing Company
Come hang with us after the show! We'll have free pizza to replenish all those calories your brain burned learning at Nerd Nite. Diebolt is just a five-minute walk (and an even shorter drive, with ample parking!) from the Bug. Not only do they have great beer, but they stay open late for us. Meet more of the Nerd Nite Denver community - we have just as much fun there as we do at the show!
