If you’re a LOST fan, as I am, you’re probably kind of curious as to where this is all going. This weekend is the series finale of the show, and to celebrate, The Paley Center for Media is holding a little get-together:
“The Paley Center for Media and New York Comic Con are going to help EASE YOUR PAIN with a fun-filled celebration featuring a slew of events—a DHARMA aptitude test (aka trivia contest), a custom-made Lost game, prizes, giveaways, a panel discussion, and a special screening of a pop-up version of the program that got it all started: the pilot episode.”
The New York Geeks leave their comfort zone and head to Boston for the 2010 Penny Arcade Expo. Listen along as they attempt to get into various panels, play games, mingle with the crowds, and decompress after days spent among their nerd brethren.
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.
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.
The photography continues at day 2 of PAX East 2010, where the New York Geeks continue to scope out the gaming scene and not make it into various panels.
Incidentally, we will have a podcast that covers the entire event at the end of the weekend. Until then, enjoy more photos on our Flickr and Facebook pages.
The 2nd Annual NYC Twestival will be held in NYC this Thursday, March 25th, from 7pm-11pm at Good Units (below the Hudson Hotel). Unfortunately, Nelson and I will be prepping for our trip to PAX the next day, so we’ll be unable to attend. But don’t let our absence stop you from attending. From the website:
“Attendees will enjoy live entertainment, games, and be a part of one the largest philanthropy events organized through social media. Join us for Mister Disco ( @MisterDisco ) and Shinobi Ninja ( @ShinobiNinja ), photographs by Maureen Pitz , prize auction, and amazing origami demonstrations by Sok Song . You’ll have a chance to add your signature to his creations before he folds out giant twitter birds.”
So there you go. If you do attend, make sure to drop us a line and let us know how it was!
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!
The New York Geekcast is hosted by Nelson Diaz and David Pagano. These two self-proclaimed nerds (along with their friends) cover anything and everything dorky -- movies, music, comics, video games, television -- while bringing a unique New York sensibility to it all.
