What is a Nerdfighter, you ask? Well, if you’re wondering that, you probably are one. Don’t worry: it’s a good thing. If you want to know more, join us for our first meeting at the Grafton Public Library on Saturday, January 31st from 1-4pm. We’ll watch vlogbrothers videos, learn more about Nerdfighters, share our nerdiness, and plan future Nerdfighter events. Snacks are also a definite.

Nerdfighters originally started with New York Times bestselling author John Green (The Fault in Our Stars) and his brother Hank. In 2007, the two brothers decided, in an attempt to reconnect, to communicate exclusively by videoblog, or vlogging, for a whole year, removing all textual communication. Along the way, they had created more than videos, but an entire community of unique and creative people. These people are commonly referred to as Nerdfighters. Years later, that community is stronger than ever, with vlogbrothers channel being in the Most Subscribed Channels of All Time list on You Tube and spawning many other successful projects, such as DFTBA Records, VidCon, CrashCourse, SciShow and hankgames.
