Revenge of the Nerdz...

by Jason Della Rocca (February 2001)

A big thanks to all in attendance (who had to fight the cold and challenge of setting their VCRs to tape Survivor ;)

The second gathering of the Montreal Chapter, while not as boisterous as the first, was still a great success, with over 65 attendees. Fun was had by all!

One of the more interesting aspects of the evening was the voxpop style interviews done by Hugues Savoie of the show "La revanche des NerdZ". (The show covering the Montreal Chapter should air in the next two weeks or so.)

Thanks all for coming, and thank you to those who helped organize the event. We are especially looking forward to next month's gathering, which will take place the week after GDC - we'll hear various recaps/summaries from chapter members... More on that later...
