SDCC Recap: Misc Hilarities

 

by @geekgirls

So much was going on during the convention that I was a little overwhelmed this year. Although nothing truly buzz worthy was announced (well except for The Walking Dead panel) I promise to get you the rest of the Comic-Con news this week. In the meantime, here are all the other minor events that I felt were noteworthy: (more…)

SDCC Recap: Geek Girls Exist Panel

 

by @geekgirls

It’s truly unbelievable what can be accomplished with a little confidence, a bit of motivation, and Twitter!

For those of you who haven’t heard how this came about, my friend Jill (aka @thenerdybird) announced that she would be on a panel Where Are All the Action Chicks this year at the San Diego Comic-Con and while I was so happy for her I also wanted to be part of a panel, or better yet, moderate an panel.

I immediately emailed Comic-Con to inquiry how one goes about pitching and securing a panel for 2010. They instructed me to email my pitch, I did, and they got back to me a few weeks later with my room number and date and time of my panel. (This is where I passed out from overwhelming excitement)

Knowing that I had less than a week to gather panelists, I teamed up with @GeekGirlDiva who graciously offered her assistance and support of my new exciting project. In one week’s time, we had 8 amazing women who were willing to join the panel and who represented the wide spectrum of geek culture; everything from TV to comics to gaming.  (more…)

So far SDCC2010 has been amazing. I’m sorry for not posting here as mich, but please follow me on Twitter and Check out the GGN Facebook page daily for picks and updates live from the convention.

The Geek Girls Exist panel was a hit! @GeekGirlDiva gave a great intro, Marian Call sang for us, and the panelists kept us in stiches talking about growing up geek. (I’m doing my best trying to find a video. In the mean time, click here to see some of the pics)

I met tons of tweeps in real life, which has been such a highlight of this whole trip! I’ve met: @CapSteveRogers, @KatieDoyle, @PhysicistLisa, @JurassicAlien, @MollyMcIssac, @JMStump, and many more! (sorry if I didn’t mention you yet, my brain is so mush today ;)

I went to the Threadless Comic Tees Luanch Party last night which was great! Check out the pictures of all the new tees here.

And tonight is the official Geek Girls & Friends Tweet-Up. I will be tweeting and sending twitpics live, so stay tuned.

 

 

Geek Girls & Friends Tweetup

 

by @geekgirls

geek babes tweetup nycWow – The Geek Girls and Friends first Tweetup was a HUGE SUCCESS!

On Saturday, February 13th, geeky tweeps came together at NYC’s Brass Monkey for a night of drinks, laughs, pictures and prizes. With nearly 60 attendees,I can say the geeks totally took-over the bar!

Although I hit crazy traffic on my way down, I came prepared with name tags, markers, stickers, buttons, and prizes from ThinkGeek, GC Records, Newsarama and @SarahKuhn! Check out what we gave away.

I reserved the only 4 tables in the bar, all the way in the back since I wasn’t sure how many people would decide to attend. But it wasn’t long before all 60 of us were hanging out and expanding past our “designated area”.

It was so exciting to finally meet so many of the people I twitter with on a daily basis. I have to say that they’re just as awesome in real life as they are on twitter. Seriously.

And if I do say so myself, for a bunch of nerds, we were super sociable and super hawt! Check out all the pictures on Facebook.

Once the party got going, it seriously got going! These are some of the highlights from #GGNNY: (more…)
