Join us on September 11, 2019 for Lawrence Nerd Nite #85 where our presenters will take you on a mouthwatering, delectable journey of gastronomic delights. Since we’re food nerds, does that make us taste buds?
Doors at 7, presentations start at 8. $1 cover at the door.
If the talks make you peckish, it’s beer-y lucky that there’s a bar where you can grab a drink or get a pizza that action for $2.50.
Our presenters want to taco ’bout the things we like to eat/drink! Meat Them!
