The New York Geekcast

All the mics we wish we owned/used to record.

Have no fear faithful listeners, while we’ve been away for one hot minute we’re cooking up two new episodes that’ll be released shortly.

Obscure will be about our favorite rare movies, video games, and what not that we hope you go out and find and enjoy.

and…

Dungeons and Dragons will be about….well The Geeks playing Dungeons and Dragons with some good buddies of ours while we go over what we love about this role playing game.

Stay tuned!

David and I will have a table at the MOCCA Festival this saturday and sunday. M.O.C.C.A. stands for the Museum of Comic and Cartoon art. Lots of independent artists sell their comics, illustrations, toys and various other cool stuff at this venue.

The event will be held at 69th Regiment Armory @ 68 Lexington Avenue NYC. It starts at 11am on Saturday April 10th and we’re at table D2.

Both of us geeks will be selling various wares that we’ve created such as My Monster and Shapesmith Book, and David’s Little Guys short!!! We will also have a limited number of New York Geekcast posters to adorn your studio, bedroom or basement in your mom’s house.

And even if you don’t want to necessarily buy some of our awesome creations (Though why wouldn’t you?) you can still stop by the table and pick up a postcard, sticker, or just let us interview you about your love of comics and what you enjoy about MOCCA.

Nelson, Andrew and I will be attending the PAX East 2010 event in Boston next weekend, March 26th-28th. We’ll be trying to cover as much as we can as we wander around through the masses of gamers and games. What is PAX East, you might ask? For the uninitiated:

“PAX East is a three-day game festival for tabletop, videogame, and PC gamers. We call it a festival because in addition to dedicated tournaments and freeplay areas we’ve got nerdcore concerts, panel discussions, and an exhibitor hall filled with booths displaying the latest from top game publishers and developers. Even with all this amazing content the best part of PAX East is hanging out with other people who know their shit when it comes to games.”

So if you’re going, be sure to look for us, and if not, you can check out our coverage here. If you have any questions or suggestions on things we should definitely see, leave us a comment or drop us an e-mail. We’ll see you there!

PAX East 2010

We just recorded a great episode where a bunch of our listeners called in sharing
their stories, questions and advice on geek love. Thanks to them, we had a
great time.

We’re going to be editing it this weekend, so that when Valentine’s Day rolls around
you have a lil’ somethin’ somethin’ to listen to while you cozy up together with your geeky dates.

…Don’t worry, it’s not Ghostbusters 2. We swear it’s better. Plus, no Yanoosh.

Thanks again to our listeners for calling in and making this record such a good time!

Let’s try this again…

This Thursday, we will be recording episode 27 of the New York Geekcast, “Media Overload”.

We’ll be discussing how there’s way too many games, movies, shows, books, and albums that we’re trying to find time to play, watch, watch, read, and listen to. That is, if we can decide which of the dozens of multimedia players out there we want to consume this media on.

If you’ve got questions or other remarks on this episode, either leave us a comment on this post or shoot an e-mail to thegeeks@nygeekcast.com. Or find us on Facebook and Twitter. Thanks!

Here’s something we’ve mentioned on our Facebook fan page but not on the official site yet…
