The kids are back to school and you know what that means? You need a night out! Still finalizing our program, but the forecast is looking like medicine with a sprinkling of rollercoaster law.

Doors open at 6:30pm, show starts at 7pm. Potentially on the patio pending weather. Be there AND be square!

Poster for our September Nerd Nite event, ala style of Lisa Frank with neon rainbow text and multi-colored cute dolphins and fish. Text reads: Nerd Nite - September Edition. Wednesday, September 10, 7pm, Doors open at 6:30pm, Black Hart Bar - No Cover. Like Ted Talks...at a bar.
