With the media spotlight on us, the scale of this event ballooned up to a point that we were close to being in over our heads. Just when it seemed like my blood pressure could not rise any higher, Dr. Shirazi and the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science stepped in and sponsored student tickets, leaving us free to manage the logistics of the show.

They have been there for us thoughout the whole roller coaster ride and have offered us so much help. I'm going to have to say that Nerdy and the Greek wouldn't have gone off nearly as well as it did without their tireless work.

These guys are awesome. If you have a minute between classes, stop by the front office and say thanks. They deserve it.

While hanging flyers across town, we ran into a very exuberant man by the name of Joe Fairbanks. He's the new owner of Pete's Bar and Grill, the home of the famous Wiley Cup.

He was very excited about the event and insisted on sponsoring dinners for three of the lucky couples. He gave us a lot of great ideas about running the show.

Fireside Grill is just about my favorite steakhouse around, so I was pretty stoked to hear that they were going to sponsor dinners for two of our nerds. Their menu is packed with delicious meals, so I'd recommend trying them out next time you've got a hankering for a perfectly cooked steak.

Hilltop Restaurant sponsored dinner for one nerd and his date. This steak house has an incredible view of the university and surrounding hills, a romantic vista complemented by linens and attentive service. Red meat is the specialty, from prime rib and steaks to Sunday's midday roast-beef family dinner. Homemade desserts include cheesecakes, mud pie, and chocolate truffles.

Nate, the owner of Straight Up Fashions was kind enough to let us film the fittings in the store. We got some great footage and had a great time. The jeans that the girls bought me here were light and comfortable and fit like I'd been wearing them for years.
