Why is it so crowded?

Well, like, we are in Cambridge right now.

What were the topics tonight?

The controlled curdling of milk and cheese.

Wow.

It was highly entertaining ... and the second topic was about studying how people connect with one another via cellphone.

Who decides what people are going to talk?

All of the talks are volunteers.

It's some kind of nerd council that convenes ...

No, no, if you want to talk about something, you just sign up, and we contact you.

Can people who are not nerds come?

Of course.

And any topic is open?

I have a friend who's interested in giving a talk on the history of porn.

It sounds like you might get into some trouble. You don't want trouble with the law.

We don't want any trouble with the law. No trouble.
