Nerd Pride Day, or Geek Pride Day, is an initiative which claims the right of every person to be a nerd or a geek. Of Spanish origin ("día del orgullo friki" in Spain), it is celebrated nowadays among Spanish frikis (an equivalent of geeks and nerds).
This day is celebrated on May 25 since 2006, celebrating the premiere of the first Star Wars movie in 1977. So, what do you all want to do? Parade? If so, I want to be on a float -- I've never gotten to do that before!
