Last chance to get $35 Geek Girl Con tickets plus: guess who's moderating our panel?
Since the last time we've talked, there have been some exciting developments, including who we finally picked to moderate the Offbeat Empire panel. If you're a wedding blog nerd, you're going to be verrrrry excited…
So first, let's review the basics:
- Geek Girl Con happens October 8-9, 2011
- Location: Seattle, WA
- Our panel is at 1pm on Sunday October 9th
- Kinds of geeky being represented at the con: sciences, science fiction, comics, gaming, and MOAR
- We're having an Offbeat Empire party the night before the Con starts at Urban Light Studios
Latest Developments:
- Meg from A Practical Wedding will be moderating the Offbeat Empire panel! I trust Meg to boss around the ladies of the Empire, because she rocked it when she hosted my reading in San Francisco last year, after bossing me around by insisting I simply HAD to do a reading in SF. So we can only imagine how she'll deftly crack the whip moderating the panel. Wedding blog nerds, this is going to be a meeting of the minds!
- Schemes are developing for the Offbeat Empire party Friday October 7th, the night before the Con starts. We'll have cupcakes from Seattle's Chic Cupcake, in addition to the delicious noms from Shooby Doo. Ang is filling up our goody bags with stuff for y'all from This Charming Candy and ZOMG Smells. RSVP here!
- Con ticket prices go up on August first, so buy your Geek Girl Con tickets now! Seriously, dudes: $35 for the entire weekend!? WTF that's insane.

Yaaay! Any chance you know which day you are? Don't know if I can make both days, and don't want to miss it!
Ariel Meadow Stallings said
Sadly, no. They haven't announced the schedule yet.
Margaret said
Darn, that explains why I couldn't find one though! I'll probably just get a 2 day since it all goes to an awesome cause anyways!

Would there be anyone in the Empire willing to record/summarize/blog about your appearance at the Con? Sadly I cannot make it…but I don't want to miss out on the amazingness…..so here is my humble request for some type of con coverage after you return? Pretty please?
Also, amassing a plea to the Empire reminds me strangely of being in Star Wars right now….although Ariel is a far cry from Emperor Palpatine. Y'know, with him being evil and all.

The panel will be streamed online, so you're all good there.
And I'm actually totally evil. Very, very evil.

Oh man!! You and Meg on a panel together? I'm going to have to get away from my booth for this! My little offbeat heart is all a-flutter!
Meg said
Awwww! We're both so forceful, yet funny. I predict: good time.
Isis said
I would absolutely adore to be able to go… if only I wasn't having my own offbeat wedding that weekend on the other side of the country! Maybe another year. Pesky timing.

I don't know. I think that just sounds like a little too much awesomeness for that con to handle.
