Nerd Nite Tokyo #45: From the Gutter to the Stars
日本語の説明は下記にございます!
*Event information is also available on [our website](https://tokyo.nerdnite.com/) and [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/events/663245961997757).*
Every month, we gather 3 (or 4!) smart speakers and a curious crowd.
This month, we'll bring back some fan-favorite speakers to learn about trash in Tokyo's rivers, get nostalgic for the 2000s through new media, and meet a 40-year beginner astrophotographer!
Drinks (both alcoholic and non) and light snacks will be available. Eat, drink and be square-y! Kids are also welcome at Nerd Nite.
