Once again it was time for the local Science Fiction book store to put on their Nerd Parade through the streets of Malmö, an event put on to celebrate Towel Day (May 25th), to honor the legacy of Douglas Adams, the author of the Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. For practical reasons the parade was moved to Saturday May 27th and the gathering point was outside the City Library, where nerds of all ages and interests began to gather.

This weekend I went to a local science fiction convention with my 13 year old nephew and much against my own character I didn’t take a camera with me. Weird huh? Well...not really. We were there two years ago, and then I tried to do both “baby” sitting and photography and that’s just not doable. Also, given how insanely crowded the place gets it wouldn’t really be possible for me to take any good photos had I been there on my own. My DSLR is just too big for that.
