Throughout time nerds have been loved and tormented by robots. From the beginnings with Rosie Jetson, all the way to our favorite governor, The Terminator. Which robot will you build?

The Chicago Nerd Social Club is putting together our very first Robot Workshop. We’ll be working with the folks from Robot City Workshop to help us during our construction project. We’ll be using their intermediate level kit, but don’t worry, there’s no soldering required.
It should be a fun time had by all, so if you’re interested be sure to register because seating is limited. If the response is strong enough we’ll be try to schedule another class for later in the day. Tickets are $60 which covers your kit charge and your workshop fee for the instructor.

We’re looking forward to see what type of spirit Chicago puts in its robots!

When: March 28th, 2010 — 2:00pm – 5:00pm

Where: Robot City Workshop — 3226 N. Sheffield Chicago, IL 60657

Cost: $60 – includes robot kit and workshop fee

Well we’ve spent a few months prepping for this next event. We laid the ground work down with our Comics 101 event a few months ago. What good is a 101 event without a follow up 201 event?
The Chicago Nerd Social Club and Third Coast Comics are teaming up again to bring you Comic Book 201! We’ll be digging deeper into the comic book genre including publishers, explaining that wacky thing called “continuity” and the history of comics. (What’s all this bronze, silver, golden age stuff about anyways?)

Do you have specific questions you’d like to ask? Feel free to e-mail jeff@chicagonerds.com and we’ll do our best work those questions into the presentation. No question is too noob, no question too leet. Ask away!

When: January 28th 2010 – 7:00pm
Where: Third Coast Comics – 6234 N. Broadway Chicago, IL

Can’t make this event but you’re still interested? Don’t worry, we’ll be repeating this event one more time as well as a slew of comic book related events in 2010 so stay tuned!
