XKCD Meetup!

Jump to Comments

If you’re nerdy like me, you’ll probably appreciate the fantastic webcomic XKCD (if you don’t already).

One particular comic happens to mention geographic coordinates, a date and a time. The coordinates are for a park in Cambridge and the time was 2:38, Sept. 23 (today). Hundreds of nerds flocked from all around the world (!) to meet up. One guy came from Moscow, some from the UK, and some from Canada. Everybody was very nice. It was really fun being around so many hardcore nerds at once. I took some pictures! (Behind the jump, they’re pretty huge).

There were so many Wikipedia jokes. I was elated. I didn’t get a picture of it, but another guy was holding a sign that said “Semi-Protect The Constitution.”

See more on my Flickr or also see way better photos marked with xkcddreams.
