Every month, we gather some smart speakers and a curious crowd, add a bar, and create something unique. This month, start your holiday season in Sugamo with fictional giant robots and real ways to be healthy in 2025! Plus, we have cafe food and craft beer on tap.

Our first speaker is writer, lecturer, translator, interpreter and illustrator Renato Rivera Rusca, who will be discussing the surprisingly deep origins and uncertain future of one of Japan’s most enduring cultural institutions: giant robot anime. Then, Nerd Nite 59 speaker Crissman Loomis returns to present his Unaging Challenge “for nerds who want to live longer but hate kale.” Are you ready to step up?

Drinks (both alcoholic and non) as well as food will be available. Check out the menu here and come early; we’re opening the doors at 7 PM. Drink, meet, and be square-y! Kids are also welcome at Nerd Nite.

You can also find our event information on Facebook and Meetup; check the sidebar for all of our social media and mailing lists. Help us promote Nerd Nite by signing up on our event listings and sharing our social media posts!
