Some #Geektastic Updates
You might have noticed I created an Events section of the site (if not, here it is). I’m slowly adding in my Geek Events to this really cool calendaring tool.
I discovered Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman’s cool project, Tested.com, while looking for video of Adam Savage’s No Face creation. I can’t remember where I’d heard about it, but I really wanted to see it. So, I didn’t find the No Face performance from 2011’s Comi-Con, but this is from 2012 and No Face is there at 2:54.
And this video below shows Adam and Norm discussing the creation of the costume.
Everett Community College hosts FREE Japanese Anime Arts Festival May 29-30
Perhaps, like myself, you’d never considered Everett as a bastion of geek culture. But you’d be wrong! We might not match Seattle yet, but we’re moving in the right direction. First, we have Orcacon next January. And this weekend , Everett Community College will be hosting a Anime Arts Festival (a more detailed schedule is available here). Looks like a fun event, especially if you’re a fan of anime. And, if you’ve either been on the fence or are just curious about this stuff, what a great chance to check out this part of Japanese culture (free…FREE!!).
I hope to make my way there. Will I see you? Let me know if the comments.
