Nerd Nite is an international organization and is now held in almost seventy major cities across the globe. Originating in Boston, the Lawrence chapter can trace its roots to some of the founding members from Boston to NYC to Austin, TX, and finally to Lawrence, KS. The three people who established the Lawrence chapter were Nick Ray, Dave Trimbach, and Travis Weller.

Nerd Nite #126 was a rousing success with phenomenal presentations on the beautiful culture of Algeria (by Ahmad Mustafa) soccer songs from around the world (by Iain Ellis), the cultural importance of the World Cup (by Mauricio Gómez Montoya), and how to capture the passion of the fans through photography (by Peaty Romano). These enchanting photos were captured by Peaty and we're grateful to be able to share them. The irony, of course, is that we don't have a photo of Peaty! Lawrence, Kansas is thrilled to host the Algerian World Cup team and we hope they enjoy all that. Lawrence and Kansas has to offer!
