Geek Pride Day is celebrated May 25th. The date coincides with the premiere of the first Star Wars movie in 1977.
Geek Pride Day has been celebrated since 2006, when it originated in Spain.
It also coincides with Towel Day, which commemorates the death of Douglas Adams, author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which was first observed in 2001, two weeks after Adams' death on May 11, 2001. Adams considered a towel "the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitch hiker can have". |
