What we’re about
We're thrilled to have you join us in our exciting community of trivia buffs, board game enthusiasts, bar crawl adventurers, live music fans, karaoke stars, outdoor adventurers, and festival-goers. Whether you're here to challenge your knowledge, make new friends over a board game, explore the best bars in town, hike all the best trails, or dance the night away at a concert or festival, there's something for everyone. Welcome to the Nashville Nerd Herd!
We are an inclusive group and aim to foster a positive environment to foster friendship for all. The majority of events will be free and there are no dues to be a member. Events with a fee due to equipment/venue costs (such as kayak rental, for example) will be indicated as such.
Attendance Policy
We appreciate your interest in our events and want everyone to have the opportunity to participate. To ensure a great experience for all, we have established the following attendance policy:
- Attending without RSVP: Meetup has an established RSVP system that includes Going, Not Going, and Waitlist. For safety reasons as well as to avoid overcrowding, please ensure that you are only attending events where you are marked as "Going." Attendance without an appropriate RSVP may be cause for removal from the group.
- No Shows: If you miss three events without prior notice, you may be removed from the group.
- Same-Day Cancellations: Canceling on the day of the event without notifying the group will be considered a no-show. Please comment on the event page or let an organizer know if you cannot make it.
- Advance Notice: If you think you won’t be able to attend, please take the time to edit your RSVP the day before the event. This helps us make room for others who are eager to join.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We look forward to seeing you at our events!

Ready to trade the noise of Nashville for the peaceful flow of the Piney River? Join us for a refreshing day of kayaking with great company and scenic views! Whether you’re a seasoned paddler or brand new to the water, this trip is designed to be a fun, low-stress outing for all experience levels.
We’ll meet directly at Pinewood Canoe & Camp (carpooling from Nashville encouraged if you’d like), then hit the water for a relaxing float. Rentals and shuttle service for personal kayaks are available through Pinewood — reserve early, as spots fill up fast!
This event is weather-dependent, and we’ll keep you posted on any changes. All participants should be comfortable in the water and able to manage basic paddling on a gentle river.

Come soak up the summer vibes and enjoy one of Middle Tennessee’s best paddling spots. We can’t wait to float with you!
