Have you ever been to a Nerd Party?

Think Halloween costume party, but with a nerdy twist.

I am rewriting a post that I wrote back in 2013 with some additional thoughts.

Years ago I was invited to a Nerd Party in Missouri. I think enough time has passed to share a few pictures from it. The participants will remain anonymous, unless someone comments 😉

This was long before The Big Bang Theory. I am sure that if a Nerd Party was held today that someone would come dressed as Sheldon and Amy. I went to a Costume Party once where there was a couple dressed as Sheldon and Amy. I remember going to the same party as Martin Luther as the Mad Monk and nobody got the reference. Happy Reformation Day! See: Reformation Day Posts

Here is what got my mind wandering toward the Nerd Party when I first wrote this post. While working on my post The Case of the Missing Book, I ran across this pocket protector that I wore as part of my costume for the Nerd Party.

I should have taken a picture instead of just putting it on the glass of the scanner.

I also found some old pictures from the party. The quality of the pictures are not the best, but they were taken long ago and in a dimly lit gymnasium.

We had a bunch of kids at the party and they had some really cool costumes. What a bunch of nerds.I decided to extract out the four brothers who were wearing Star Trek costumes. I have already sent the picture to the oldest 🙂 I still keep in contact with him and enjoy seeing pictures of his family.

Here we have a picture of a nerd instructing his son on how to be a better nerd. It is also a good segue to the next picture.

Here we have a picture with most of the men who were at the party. I look really short in this picture, and I am only a little more than an inch shy of six feet tall. I just had a lot of tall friends.

To the right of me in the picture (my left) is the father of the four brothers who were wearing Star Trek uniforms. They had a family theme going.

I also have a picture of the women in their costumes, but know better than to post it. I might get hunted down. Perhaps it has been enough time now and I should share it.

I still hear from or hear about some of the people who were at the party long ago, even though we live far away from each other.
