The LA Geek Dinner is joining forces with the German American Business Association (GABA) for a special presentation that will blow your mind at the Hollywood Laserium!

Remember when Pluto was downgraded as a planet? Well it was Dr Charles Baltay, who lead the way (by discovering several new planets in out outer solar system.) Dr Baltay will speak about his work, then we will hear from the founder of the Laserium, Ivan Dryer, then it's time to sit back and enjoy a Laser performance of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.

Scientists, Lasers, Pink Floyd! You don't want to miss this once in a lifetime Geek Dinner.
