Nerdapalooza is an annual music festival in Orlando, FL. It's the first of its kind to invite all genres of the Nerd Music movement under one roof, including Nerd Rock, Nerdcore Hip-Hop, Chiptunes, and Video Game Music. The idea for Nerdapalooza was conceived by John "Hex" Carter, who hosted a nerdy music themed radio show through KRFH, the student-run radio station at Humboldt State University. The word is derived from "nerd" and "palooza", a slang word for all-out crazy party, and is a reference to Lollapalooza. More information about the convention can be found at www.nerdapalooza.org
