Someone suggests going BACK for the thing you left behind.
Obviously, horror movie characters make excellent decisions. 😬
Join Nerd Nite COS + the hosts of Slasher & the Final Girls for an interactive night where YOU decide what you’d do in classic horror movie scenarios. Then we bring in the experts to talk about what might actually help you survive.
AND THEN…
🏃♂️💀🦖 NOVEMBER 19: We’re back at Ivywild!
We’re going from horror movies to an entirely different collection of wonderfully nerdy rabbit holes:
🏃 What happens to the human body when you run REALLY, REALLY far?
🔥 What can kink teach us about communication, pleasure, and safety?
🦖 And what can fossils tell us about the dinosaurs that once called this area home?
Plus, there will be tie-dye with Captain Drips available for $10 before the event, with limited availability during/after Nerd Nite. Make sure to grab the add-on when you purchase tickets.
📍 Ivywild School 📅 Thursday, November 19

Our next Nerd Nite Colorado Springs is officially on the calendar—and tickets are now live!
Join us on Thursday, September 17 for another evening of fascinating talks, unexpected ideas, drinks, and the kind of conversations that make you say, “Wait…tell me more about that.”

After a hiatus, Nerd Nite is returning to Colorado Springs — and we think this city has been ready for it.
For the uninitiated: Nerd Nite is a global event series where smart, curious people gather to hear short, engaging talks on topics they probably didn’t expect to care about. It happens in hundreds of cities around the world. And now it’s ours again.
Jennie will open the night with a little history. We’ll discuss where Nerd Nite came from, why she’s bringing it back, and what she thinks Colorado Springs is hungry for when it comes to connection, community, and real conversation.
Alison ChristoffersonCreativity + Communication
What kind of creative are you…and does it affect how you talk to the people around you? Alison breaks down different creativity types and offers practical ways to have better conversations about creative work, collaboration, and the ideas that matter to you.
Calvin PinsuwanSurvival of the Laziest: How an Ignored Game Idea Survived and Dominated
Calvin’s talk is about natural selection. And video games. And he’s presenting it inside a video game. Need we say more?
Plus Q&A after each talk, trivia, a bar in the back of the gym, and plenty of time to meet the kind of people who show up to things like this. Save $10 when you buy online. That’s basically a free drink. Just saying.
Join us at Ivywild on Friday, June 12 at 7pm for a night of short, engaging talks, good drinks, and even better conversation.
If you’ve never been, Nerd Nite is all about bringing curious people together to learn something new in a fun, low-pressure environment. Expect a mix of fascinating topics, a few laughs, and the kind of conversations you don’t usually get on a night out.
Come solo or bring a friend. Grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy:
• short talks on interesting, unexpected topics • a relaxed, social atmosphere 🍻 • a chance to meet thoughtful, curious people
Featuring talks on creativity, communication, and human behavior– with more to be announced.
