About this event

  • 3 hours

Let us gather once again! This is a monthly gathering for anyone who identifies as A) trans/non-binary, and B) a nerd. Now the time has come to gather once again for some nerdy conversation and revelry -- this time in outdoor brunch form! Bring your board games, your Star Trek-themed knitting, and your opinions about science fiction and fantasy (or painting minis, or roleplaying games, or fan fiction, or the poems of Emily Dickinson, or birding, or the Age of Steam, or…?). Nerd culture is as broad and fathomless as human gender expression, so let’s spend a Saturday midday exploring both at once!

Note: Zeitgeist is 21+ because alcohol is served. Sorry about that.

Also, they recently changed their weekend start time from 1 PM to noon, so we're experimenting with pushing our start time back slightly to see how it works. Feedback appreciated!
