Hey Nashville nerds! July 13 is Embrace Your Geekness Day. Whether you’re a gamer, tech wizard, or just dream of intergalactic travels, there are many places where you can live out your geeky dreams, but just how nerdy is Nashville?
Nashville plays host to the Tennessee Renaissance Festival, Comic Con, Lord of the Rings groups, LARP groups, and other nerdy enterprises, so we certainly have our fair share of proud geeks and nerds here. But how geeky is Music City compared to other big cities?
