Hi! Could Nerd Nite ask for a small, really helpful favor? You probably have the Feb 24 Nerd Nite event announcement sitting in your spam email folder right now, if you subscribe to our event announcement emails. PLEASE go in and mark that email as "not spam", like, right now. We've been asking people to subscribe to our email to get away from (bad, boooo) algorithm-based event views, and there's been a great response to that. But we've also been struggling with gmail flagging our Nerd Nite emails as spam recently. We really really want to be able to deliver event announcements directly to you, so please help us by un-spamming the announcement sent today, 2/10. Thank you so much! Join the Nerd Nite Email List at tinyletter.com/NerdNiteEB , or text "Oakland" to 345345.
