Where Old Nerds Flock and Gather

Just in case you were wondering where all your teachers were yesterday morning, nerds of all persuasions hied over to the 11th Philippine Academic Bookfair, Megatrade Hall 1, 5th level, Building B, SM Megamall, Pasig City.

I could tell of the heroic effort that my loving, nerdy wife and I went through in order to procure our precious tomes on developing critical thinking, qualitative research methodologies, and the the limits of exploring objectivist epistemology in Ayn Rand. I could recall the headlong rush into the hall after being subjected to long, incoherent speeches that raised the hackles of the assembled intelligentsia, not because they were inchoate, but simply because they were long. I could sing of the berserker booklust that came upon me as I hacked my way through the throng, stepping over and crushing the backs of lesser nerds.

But I will not. Rather, allow me to extend an invitation. If you love books, please drop by the Bookfair. Don't forget to bring the claymore, just in case you need to persuade the crowds to thin.
