			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Traffic this morning was suspiciously light&#8230; 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&#8217;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. <img src='http://www.geekrally.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So, you going to WIN PAX EAST?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This weekend, the Hynes Convention Center will host the New England Comic Con and such guests as cast members of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Adam West and Burt Ward of the 60s Batman show, and Lee Majors, the 6 Million Dollar Man. There will also be panels, local dealers such as Harrison&#8217;s Comics from Salem, and national dealers such as Another Heaven, where you can get amazing Asian martial arts DVDs online.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wizardworld.com/home-newengland.html">http://www.wizardworld.com/home-newengland.html</a></p>
<p>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?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ZOMBIE MARCH IS RAIN OR SHINE, IT WILL HAPPEN NO MATTER WHAT.</p>
<p>Come one come all and come zombified! We are meeting outside of south station and proceeding upon a determined route to terrorize boston! We will be leaving PROMPTLY at 4 so be there early!<span id="more-90"></span></p>
<p>THE RULES:</p>
<p>1. you may come as a zombie, a survivor, or a protestor, or anything else ties in with the theme.</p>
<p>2. no physical contact with regular people, if they tell you to go away do it, try not to scare children as well.</p>
<p>3. weapon rules, nerf guns or water guns or cap guns only, melee weapons are allowed long as they are either foam or other kind of material which can not injure or you are not swinging it. if people ask you not to shoot them don&#8217;t. I don&#8217;t care if your airsoft gun isn&#8217;t loaded do NOT bring it.</p>
<p>4. always stay on the sidewalk unless crossing, and break character when crossing, we don&#8217;t want the group to be split due to people shambling across the street.</p>
<p>5. don&#8217;t fuck up, number one rule. don&#8217;t break anything, ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING THROUGH THE PRUDENTIAL. I have a good relationship with the city and they tolerate this happening every year and i don&#8217;t want that to change.</p>
<p>6. there are a number of smaller after parties this year, due to personal financial reasons, ie the city bent me over the desk on the costs this year i cannot fund one as i did last year. right now I think i will be hanging out afterwards for a little while and then heading to a party, if you want to come with ask me.</p>
<p>7. come introduce yourself and say thank you to myself and the volunteers, it takes about 6 months of solid work to make this happen every year and varying financial cost not to mention my sanity. it is a free event so all we ask is your appreciation, come say hi and give some feedback.</p>
<p>Please take 30 seconds out of your day to help us make this huge!</p>
<p>This works with the google chrome broswer.</p>
<p>1) Click invite people to come.<br />
2) Paste this script into the URL bar:</p>
<p>javascript:elms=document.getElementById(&#8216;friends&#8217;).getElementsByTagName(&#8216;li&#8217;);for(var fid in elms){if(typeof elms[fid] === &#8216;object&#8217;){fs.click(elms[fid]);}}</p>
<p>3) hit enter<br />
4) click send invitations.</p>
