It’s Towel Day and Geek Pride Day!

Happy Towel Day!

A few months ago I told you about Towel Day, a holiday when we celebrate the life of Douglas Adams, author of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. How does one celebrate Towel Day, you might be asking? It’s simple, just make sure you carry a towel with you all day! On Towel Day I also like to settle down with a copy of the guide. I love The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy because they’ve published the five books in one binding. If you’re lucky, there may even be a Towel Day celebration in your neck of the woods. Check out towelday.org for more info and to find a celebration near you! If you don’t have the time to sit down with a good book right now, DON’T PANIC! You can order the movie, or watch it right now if you have Amazon Prime.(Get your free trial of Amazon Prime here!) As you can see, I like to share the celebration with the whole family. My nieces and my youngest nephew haven’t read the guide yet but my older nephew and I crack them up with our tales about it. Yes, the big day has arrived, ladies and gents, and I have just learned (from my Mother, in fact) that May 25 is the day to celebrate even more! Turns out today is also Geek Pride Day too! I am all about promoting geek culture so I’m not really sure how I missed this before. You can be sure this holiday will be marked on my calendar from now on!

Happy Geek Pride Day!

And, just in case you were wondering, I’ve compiled some infographics outlining the difference between geeks and nerds.

Happy National Wine Day!

Turns out today is also National Wine Day, woohoo! So grab your towel, throw on your favorite geeky shirt, pop open a bottle of your favorite wine (mine is Moscato, yumm!) and celebrate!
