Convened by myself, and Electronic Frontier Foundation legal geek Jennifer Granick, Nerd Salon is a place where people will help you with your homework. While drinking. And playing with humanoid robots, supplied by the excellent David Calkins and Simone Davalos of Robogames. Come out between 6-9 PM to the Makeout Room in San Francisco and say hi to your fellow io9ers and sundry nerds.

People meet at a bar, drink, play with robots, and have a chance to solve a puzzle to win something cool (usually alcohol). It's organized by yours truly and Jennifer Granick, a kickass lawyer (and serious comic book geek) from the Electronic Frontier Foundation. A new installment of Nerd Salon is happening next week, just in time for all the web nerds in town for O'Reilly's Web 2.0 Expo, and of course io9 readers are cordially invited. Come out Wed., April 23, 6-9 PM at the Makeout Room in San Francisco. Get drunk and play with bots. And talk about aliens. Or zombies. Whatever.
