You could do worse — that is, less nerdy
— than the online program “What Hap-
pened Before the Big Bang?” at 6 p.m. on
April 20. No, it’s not about the years before
the CBS sitcom. It’s a virtual lecture by astro-
physicist Ethan Siegel, a senior science con-
tributor to Forbes magazine, who will dis-
cuss what the last 40 years of research have
contributed to our understanding of what
happened before the expansion of the uni-
verse. Tickets are $5. Visit cocc.edu/founda-
tion/vsp to register or learn more info.
But there’s nerd-fun aplenty year-round
in Central Oregon. Here are but a few places
and ways to get your geek on:

regarded nerds as cool, owner Duncan Mc-
Geary was working away to create a bastion
of nerd culture in downtown Bend. Peg-
asus is more than just a comic book store
(though it is that, too): games, toys, graphic
novels, figures, literature, masks, used
books, Pegasus has you covered. pegasus-
