So! This weekend was the Offbeat Empire panel at Geek Girl Con. Wondering what we talked about? Wondering who's BFFs with a Stormtrooper? Wondering who had an epic life-lesson metaphor about bunny hats? Curious about who lists "going open source" as the smartest geeky decision they ever made?! CLICKY!

After months of preparation, this is the weekend I have been waiting for! A solid chunk of my Offbeat Empire staffers are flying in from all over the country today (Superman, Caroline, Little Red Lupine, Tribe mods and K-Redd: you'll be missed!) so that we can all dork out hard at Geek Girl Con this weekend. Then there's that whole little thing with the Offbeat Empire reception that's happening tonight at Urban Light Studios. YOU GUYS. I don't even know what to say about it! Other than book readings (which don't quite count) this is the first Event with a capitol E that I've ever done, and thanks to Kelli from Shindig Events, it's been a freaking blast. Holy shit! It's September and that means Geek Girl Con and our big Offbeat Empire party with Shindig Events at Urban Light Studios are only a month away. Will we see you in Seattle, October 7th, 8th, and 9th!? HMMM? I have a special treat for those of you who are into the meta Empire issues: our new behind-the-scenes Offbeat Empire business blog! So remember how I mentioned that the Offbeat Empire would be doing a panel at the Geek Girl Con in Seattle this October? Since the last time we've talked, there have been some exciting developments, you're going to be verrrrry excited… On a slow day at work recently, I was looking at out-of-print children's books on the Project Gutenberg website. I started "Clover," by Susan Coolidge (author of "What Katy Did"), and came across a passage that I thought you'd enjoy. Ariel shares the latest Offbeat Empire news, including the weird posts that sometimes show up under "Related Posts," and what our next two websites are going to be. When an "awkward family photo" is actually an AWESOME family photo that includes the Legend of Zelda and some amazing outfits. |
