Geek Night
February 12th, 2009
On my last night in Hamburg I went out drinking with the Unity folks and the guys from Nordic Game. Not entirely unexpectedly, it turned into a major geekfest. A guy was carrying a Magic the Gathering deck, someone else claimed to have a 1st Edition D&D tome, there were bets on if American Beauty or Fight Club had been released before (I won). What I did not see coming was when the bartender, a girl in her 20s, jumped in singing Where is my mind?, served everyone white russians while calling them Lebowskies, and pretty much won the whole my-library-is-geekier-than-yours thing when she said she had a 1st edition of Paranoia. And that was before we got into the flaming drinks.
It was a lot of fun.
