Season’s greetings and welcome to the December 2026 edition of Nerd Nite Tokyo, at Study Abroad Pub in Shin-Okubo!
If your image of writing is agonizing away in front of a keyboard all alone, get ready to have your world turned upside-down. Hodgepodge writing hedgehog Coffee Quills is here to show how they and other writers turn the process of writing into crowd-engaging streams, from ideation all the way to finding advance reviewers. They can also probably tell you how much podge can a hedgehog hodge if a hedgehog could hodgepodge.
Was that a meme? Our second speaker, Kaustubh Hiware, might be able to tell us. He helps us trace the lineage of how “meme” started out as a sort of genetic unit of culture, evolved into image macros, and re-generalized into an umbrella term for easily-shared packages that help us express the whole gamut of emotion – if you could just find the exact right GIF for it.
Doors open at 7 PM. Come early and get your drinks and socialize before the show starts at 8 PM!
