If you missed the chance to come to Block Party last year, you're in luck - the Centre for Computing History in Cambridge is hosting two events which will give you the chance to get your geek on.
Firstly, you'll get the opportunity on the weekend of the 25th and 26th February to learn more about the arcane art of teletext - and meet some of the luminaries of this resurgent medium. Gurus Dan Farrimond, Steve "Horsenburger" Horsley and Raquel Meyers will be in attendance - and you can find out more details here.
The following weekend, on Saturday 4th March, the Centre will be hosting a charity retro comedy night, full of geeky comedy from YouTube sensation Ashens, plus stand-up from the likes of Paul Gannon, Ash Frith, Iszi Lawrence and Richard Sandling. Apparently, I'm hosting it - and it'll be your first opportunity to see clips from Mr Biffo's Found Footage.
The show will begin at 7pm and last for around 90 minutes. Advance tickets are just £10 each for this unique opportunity to see such an eclectic pool of comic talent. The Centre will be open to ticket holders from 6pm to 10pm to allow you to enjoy the exhibits and test your gaming skills on the consoles and arcade machines. Drinks will be available from a fully licensed bar provided by Lord Conrad's Brewery.
This event will be recorded and broadcast live on the Centre’s YouTube channel.
Buy tickets here.
In the meantime... here's Quiz-Me-Do from last year's Block Party Digifest.
