Urlesque.com and Know Your Meme are throwing another internet-themed costume party, “Happy HallowMEME Party” on Halloween Eve (October 30th) at 9pm at Fontana’s Bar (105 Eldridge Street between Grand and Broome).
You may remember our visit to the previous extravaganza, A Night to ReMEMEber, which involved a similar congregation of internet kids dressing up and getting down in various web-inspired costumes.
“Unlike any Halloween party you’ve ever attended, Happy HallowMEME will celebrate web culture with guests donning costumes celebrating notorious web memes and viral video stars.”
Favorite blog Cool Tools recently showcased a new book called, “The Geek Atlas,” which documents 128 destinations for vacationing geeks to visit.
Steve Stein says, “Would you like to see an amusing meme? Mostly for his voice, half for his discovery.”
We’ve uploaded some of the photos from our visit to Big Apple Comic Con this weekend. Nelson is still there today, tooling around for more interviews. Check our photos from yesterday on our Flickr page, and keep an ear out for our recorded coverage, coming soon!
Apparently something called the “Hyperspace Hoopla” is performed every weekend at Hollywood Studios. The finale? Star Wars characters getting down to popular hits:

Our friend Joe Bodnar recently left us a note regarding our NYGC Christmas episode from last year:
“So I’ve been working on the Umi Zoomi Christmas special and have been listening to the geekcast christmas episode to get into the christmas spirit. I just want to say WTF…. you won’t play Dominick the Christmas Donkey” cause you don’t want to lose listeners but you will play “I’m Giving Santa a Pikachu for Christmas”. Its the biggest load of BS ever. Holy crap guys that song is stuck in my head and it won’t leave me alone… I HATE YOU ALL!!! Your Friend ~Joe 
”
Well, what do you think? Which is the less insufferable song?
