Traffic this morning was suspiciously light… it made me wonder if everyone was somehow at PAX getting in line for the opening ceremony. This weekend, the equivalent of the ENTIRE TOWNS of Brookline or Waltham will visit PAX East to celebrate their collective love of games. If you’re there, make sure to look for an cheer for Kevin Mullen, who is from Boston and will be competing in the OMEGATHON for fabulous prizes. 😉

So, you going to WIN PAX EAST?

Purists may observe that the name is a little misleading: this is less of a dedicates comic book event than it is a pop culture event. There will be anime, toys, and lots of TV stars there signing autographs. Yet how can you not smile at the idea of shaking hands with the former Batman and current mayor of Quahog?

Geek Pride Day is an initiative which claims the right of every person to be a nerd or a geek. It has been celebrated on May 25 since 2006, celebrating the premiere of the first Star Wars movie in 1977.

It shares the same day as two other science-fiction fan ‘holidays’ – Towel Day, for fans of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy by Douglas Adams, and the Glorious 25th of May, for fans of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld.
