Just like every year, we’ll be there, and just like every year, Shelton Drum, Rico Renzi, Seth Peagler and the whole Heroes crew have curated an artist lineup and show that promises to be unforgettable. … Continue reading

Overthinking at the Gym
I decide to walk on the track this morning. I can do the elliptical tomorrow. As usual, there’s the older woman who hugs the inside railing instead of staying to the outside like she’s supposed to. Twice I have to pass between her and some other person who’s decided to accompany her and take up … Continue reading
A HeroesCon Preview, Wonder Woman Style
HeroesCon is turning 35 this year, and though it’s always the comics show to beat every year, Shelton Drum, Rico Renzi, Seth Peagler, and the rest of the gang are pulling out all the stops to make this an epic anniversary celebration. No doubt I’m excited to once again return to what my friends have … Continue reading
Chewbacca Mom and the Power of Positivity in the Geek Community
I’ve been feeling internet-weary as of late. So much negativity exists, and it wears on me that people are so angry. Yes, most of it has been related to the new Ghostbusters, but it seems every day there is a new thing that fans are raging about. Look, I get being passionate about things you … Continue reading

As much as I love the holiday season and am enjoying the twinkling lights and Christmas music, everyone at Geeky … Continue reading
Countdown to Halloween: Little Monsters
This time of year, many of my pals turn to The Monster Squad as the go-to monster movie for kids. I’ll admit, I didn’t see that one until my adulthood. (I don’t know how this happened. Maybe I was too obsessed with The Goonies to really absorb the awesomeness of all those monsters. Maybe I just missed … Continue reading
Countdown to Halloween: How Scream Queens Made Me Look Up My Old Sorority Sisters
My favorite new show this fall has been Fox’s Scream Queens. Its mix of camp, gory horror, a kick-ass soundtrack, and comedy make it the perfect show for me. When I saw the promos I knew I had to check it out, and though I had some apprehension at the beginning, I’m so glad I did. … Continue reading
Building My Blanket Fort with Pop Culture
It’s all hills and valleys sometimes, and in the past week, I went from a mountain (meeting Carrie Fisher and spending a few days with people I love dearly) to a valley (getting some not so great news about someone in my family and going back to super stress at work) in less than a … Continue reading
I’m Meeting Carrie Fisher! Here’s What I’d Like to Tell Her That I Won’t Have Time to
Gentle readers, I am excited. In a few days, I am meeting Carrie Fisher. She’s coming to FandomFest in Louisville, KY, which is about four hours from my house, and I’m going to do a photo op with her. I am not usually one to pay for the chance to meet a celebrity, but considering … Continue reading
