Nerd Alert: Spring!

NANJ is BACK from Winter Hiatus and ready to turn its collective face to the sun.

This weekend:
Friday night, Book Nerds who were savvy enough to participate in World Book Night can pick up their free copies of their favorite books to give away at Watchung Bookseller's Book Night party. If you don't want to miss out for next year, check out the World Book Night website.
The mad minds behind the now-closed Raconteur Bookshop are staging a live version of Nosferatu: The First Vampyre this weekend. Find out more here.
Saturday is RECORD STORE DAY! Search the website for nearby free entertainment and support your local indie. Princeton Record exchange will have They Might Be Giants, and Main Street Jukebox in Stroudsburg, PA will have Bovine Social Club.

Nerds with Kids can celebrate Earth Day at the Turtle Back Zoo's Party for the Planet on Sunday.
