At the school where I teach, I am one of the faculty advisors of what has come to be known as the "Nerd Club!" (our official name is the Leland Society, named for Charles Godfrey Leland, a 19th century cartoonist/occultist/fantasy author who was an alumnus of the school). Yesterday, we held out first meeting of the year. What did we serve for refreshments? Well, September 22 is a pretty big day for fantasy nerds...
