None of us really consider ourselves martini drinkers, but I would drink this cocktail every dang week if that’s what all martinis tasted like. It’s impossibly cold and smooth, with a tang from the caramelized leek and pickled onion. It almost reminded me of the sweet and savory vinegar that you’d find at the bottom of your cucumber salad. The kind you can’t help but sop up with rice or a soft roll. It felt refined yet adventurous, almost like the 21+ equivalent of the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival’s iconic Pickle Milkshake. This was my favorite cocktail at GEO-82, but not everyone in our party loved this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a0f5337d54326b4ec1696/728bf088-b692-4077-83c3-8fc21d93586f/061525+geo+bar.png Blog - Drinkie Review: We drank every cocktail at Epcot’s new GEO-82 lounge - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a0f5337d54326b4ec1696/4cca64bf-2bf0-4c25-8ec6-eb5e3ca4d0be/GEO-82+cocktails-02.png Blog - Drinkie Review: We drank every cocktail at Epcot’s new GEO-82 lounge - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a0f5337d54326b4ec1696/6b91e202-4e42-4e6b-b1eb-d13d07fb1f5d/061525+geo+inspo.png Blog - Drinkie Review: We drank every cocktail at Epcot’s new GEO-82 lounge - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a0f5337d54326b4ec1696/a0368855-2457-4a16-b65a-de21df701d30/061525+geo+elec.png Blog - Drinkie Review: We drank every cocktail at Epcot’s new GEO-82 lounge - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.seriouslynerdy.com/blog/fanfestnights monthly 0.5 2025-04-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a0f5337d54326b4ec1696/6d847977-b7b5-434d-8cef-b685f4c222b2/42725+universal+esc.jpg Blog - Our pros and cons from Fan Fest Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a0f5337d54326b4ec1696/91e212b3-553a-4f53-986c-32f1960cd036/42725+universal+mario.jpg Blog - Our pros and cons from Fan Fest Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood - Make it stand out There was a Yoshi Egg Hunt as part of the event that we suspect ended with a special Yoshi meet and greet, but we didn’t get to finish it since we ran out of time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a0f5337d54326b4ec1696/1be6cc21-2283-431a-9cfd-784a4137a925/42725+universal+header.jpg Blog - Our pros and cons from Fan Fest Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a0f5337d54326b4ec1696/bfeb5ca5-2d76-4dba-8196-28764e5bec89/42725+universal+dnd+tavern.jpg Blog - Our pros and cons from Fan Fest Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood - Make it stand out I was so excited for Dungeons & Dragons: First Roll Tavern.

Drinkie Review: Bar Nayuta and Bar Jeremiah are top sips from Japan - Make it stand out One of my favorite things about Tokyo was seeing the small rainbow signs (above) in store windows, designating that these spaces are welcoming to the LGBTQ+ community.

I changed the three bugles and a green chevron (Foster) to three squirrels holding said bugles. This is what happens when the Iglesias family doesn’t have heraldry. I make a squirrel version. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a0f5337d54326b4ec1696/1846dc43-50e8-48a0-87b2-5ab7d0f2b151/011524+pack.jpg Blog - Seriously Married: How we created custom wedding invitations inspired by our first date - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a0f5337d54326b4ec1696/8e73ea4e-5ec0-408d-94a0-6c74569a522e/barrel-06.png Blog - Seriously Married: How we created custom wedding invitations inspired by our first date - Wedding Cake Icon This little icon, done in the same loose illustration style of the flowers, was a tribute to our “wedding in a barrel” theme.

Welcome to the nonsense. Hey there. Welcome to Seriously Nerdy, a not-so-serious blog written nerds about a variety of topics. Is a blog a good idea? Probably not. Do Alex and Dani have anything new to contribute to the interwebs that hasn’t already been stated? Highly unlikely. And yet, here we are. About the Authors Alex and Dani live in Burbank, California, with their perfect miniature cat, Gimlet (@tinygimlet). Together, this ridiculous couple embarks on a variety of adventures in pursuit of pop culture fandom, tasty foodstuffs and comedic irony. They were married in 2023 at the bar where they had their first date. They like each other a lot. https://www.seriouslynerdy.com/resources daily 0.75 2024-10-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a0f5337d54326b4ec1696/efa31893-9d36-4f5d-a62b-61cba08b658b/Resources+-hanger.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a0f5337d54326b4ec1696/2f5b8c77-a600-4f8d-a986-2909b008121f/Shingle+Cutter+STL.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7a0f5337d54326b4ec1696/526b2226-f186-4186-ac8d-5258578f34be/Leaves+-+File+Sharing.jpg https://www.seriouslynerdy.com/gimlet daily 0.75 2025-04-25 https://www.seriouslynerdy.com/portfolio-2 daily 0.75 2025-05-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Portfolio 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Portfolio 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Portfolio 2 https://www.seriouslynerdy.com/portfolio-1 daily 0.75 2024-08-14 https://www.seriouslynerdy.com/portfolio-1/project-six-6f87e-lh3hl monthly 0.5 2022-05-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847359057-HKZQQP8MCEM0UI23R57B/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Portfolio 1 -
