At long last, spring has officially sprung here in New York City, which means that it’s time for the denizens of Tor.com’s Nerd Village to stagger wonderingly into the bright sunlight and celebrate the teachings of the Two Great Ones: “Be excellent to each other!” and “Party on!”

To this noble end, we’re going to be gathering for a Tor.com Spring Meet-up at d.b.a., located at 41 First Avenue between 2nd and 3rd Street, from 6 p.m. onward on Thursday, May 14th. Besides its impressive bar selection—featuring more than 250 varieties of beer, ales, and lambics, 90 single-malt Scotches, 60 kinds of tequila, and so on—d.b.a. boasts a large outdoor garden in the back (half-covered, for those of us who prefer life in the shade). It’s an ideal space for drinkers and non-drinkers alike to hang out on a nice day, and the neighborhood is full of great restaurants for people interested in ordering food or bringing take-out; there should be menus available.

So please save the date and come join us as we geek out over the usual—Star Trek, time travel, robot uprisings, the various problems of zombie romance, and, as always, the Goddamn Batman—and bask in the glow of what will hopefully be another warm, sunny, magical day here in Gotham...

You can RSVP to the event on our events calendar. Hope to see you there!
