I Am A Nerd

That much is clear. I registered and paid off my tuition yesterday afternoon, and Neville, my main man at ITTP, suggested we all met at 7pm at the class to introduce ourselves to our future classmates. 4 people showed up. We went to a cafe and had a beer, then decided to move along to a pub. I was elected to find one, since I had been in the city the longest. I led those folks through some winding streets, looking for an area I had been two the day previous that had three or four quiet pubs with decent beer.

Along the way, we stopped for a second while I asked everyone if they knew "what kind of birds those are up there".

They all responded no and look at me like I was a freak. Which I just might be.

They finally nixed the quiet pubs and someone else led us to an Irish Pub where a shitty band played a version of Canned Heat's "Let's Work Together". I stayed out quite late with those folks and in retrospect, I had a spectacularly bad time.

you didn't have to go to prague to justify that you're a nerd. it was pretty obvious in seattle as well....
