More and more people are getting vaccines and as a result, the world is opening. Nerd society is returning, and more and more opportunities arise! To help you find some fun events, we continue our monthly endeavor to bring you some of the choice events for the Los Angeles area!

Before we go into the details of the events, we want to remind people that we are still within the thralls of a pandemic, and recommend people check out our article on ”If You Should Go Out” Here. In keeping with our promise within that article though, each event we are talking about will have an Is It Safe section discussing steps taken by the organization to keep the attendees safe.

From the people who have attended it, we can honestly say that this experience is well worth the price point of the ticket.
