There are some days you just want to squirrel away, doing your work, undisturbed by the outside world...it is nerdish perhaps, but there you go. Sometimes it is the only way to get your work done.
And then there are those times when people learn about what you do and want you to share it with the world (or at least an audience in a mid-sized pub in Tokyo). That's what happened tonight. As much as I tried to resist, on the basis that my 'science' wasn't quite the science of nanotechnology and food chemistry, I was drafted into the NerdNite Tokyo program.
Would people really want to talk 'politics' in a pub, on a Friday night with a few beers under the belt?
Well, I spent the day at work wondering just that, as I watched the world go by.

| I'd rather be... |

Then, come the night, the waiting, the anticipation...
 |
| I arrived nerdishly early |
 |
| An interesting pub |
 |
| Preparations for a grilling |

| Good Heavens indeed |
It was an interesting night. To say the least. I never expected to be drafted into the school of nerds, officially. But there you go. Life works in strange ways sometimes.
