Nerds sure do know how to party! Other than the scene where the Tri-Lambs perform that sweetass musical number in the first Revenge of the Nerds film, my fave scenes in the Nerds saga are the ones when the Tri-Lambs throw bitchin' parties where everyone gets wasted, Booger chases the babes around & we all have a hearty chuckle at the nerds' collective shenanigans.

In case you haven't already heard, Brooklyn Brewery recently held a contest calling for Brooklyn's best bands and singers to submit their G-train related songs in order for a chance to win a trip to a music fest in Brooklyn, Sweden. The beer people picked their top 10 favorites, and now there are 5 days for us to vote for the best (which you can do, if you so desire, on their Facebook page). In the meantime, I've narrowed down their top 10 to my top 5.

1. Abby & Chris: "We take the G"

I love the Moldy Peaches-esque sound of this song, not to mention their awesome construction paper animation. I actually listened to it several times, continually wanting to watch the stories unfold. Also, someone needs to make a "w/ lyrics" version of this and post it on youtube so that I can learn the words. Aside from the awesome clapping breakdown where the G train takes a tour through a psychedelic river, the recurring Pac-Man-faced paper guy that ends up screaming "G Train! You gon' wait so long!" really completes me.

BK magazine Edible Brooklyn is pairing up with local coffee roasting professionals Blue Bottle Coffee, Dallis Bros. Coffee and Gorilla Coffee to bring a "How To Roast Coffee" night to the public. The lecture will be going down on Friday, 9/28 at Brooklyn Brewery, where you'll also be able to purchase beer for $4 a pint. 

Just don't get drunk and fall in the roaster. The last thing we need is another 1939-Drunk-Brooklyn-Farmer-Who-Perished-in-the-Roaster-tragedy on our hands again.
