Death of the Midnight Showing
It used to be that when a big blockbuster came out, if you were truly devoted, you’d go to the midnight showing. People would dress up and wait in line for hours. It always felt like a mini-con to me. But recently, theaters have been opening their doors earlier and earlier. For example: last night…

I Love Legos

Nice Nerds finish last
You may not be aware of this paradox. A pretty, socially adjusted, nerdy girl. If you find such an animal… approach with caution. For we are easily spooked. The challenge facing such a unicorn is that a male counterpart is rare and hard to find. And much like the search for Big Foot or The Loch…

Lessons I Learned from NY Comic Con 2011
Lesson 1: “There’s always a bigger fish” In my head I’m pretty much the biggest geek ever. I mean I own a lightsaber, I’ve been to 3 Star Wars conventions and I can quote the entire original trilogy word for word. Yeah… it’s safe to say that I’m a nerd and proud of it. But…
