| Pax Prime by Cory Schmitz |
A showcase of this week's finest geek and geek related activities for the week. Mark your calendars.
Longer Term
Sunday
- Comedy - Tom Green at DC Improv - Washington, DC - Friday to Sunday
- Ok, Tom Green had his own show, lost a ball, and went on to do all sorts of other fun stuff. A very good comic, very random, very odd. That's probably what I and many others enjoy the most.
- Conventions - Pax Prime - Seattle, Washington - Friday to Sunday
- PAX, the big leagues. This contender stepped up and took the fame, the glory, and the nerd cred for being the main convention for pre-release info, especially in the gaming nerd circuit from E3. Pax is awesome. Hands down. It's probably too late for you to plan on this one. But know, this is something you should try for next year. Just be prepared to wait in 3 hour lines and be around nerds who haven't showered in days.
- Festivals - Maryland Renaissance Festival Opening Weekend - Annapolis, MD - Saturday to Sunday
- The main event as far as Renaissance Festivals go for the area. It'll be up for a bit, but this is the first weekend you can don your wizard's hat and... I just did that joke last week. Your.... knights armor and sword and be in a not so realistic recreation of an older time. I like to think that if a time traveler from the future were to travel back to our time, it would be ten kinds of funny if said traveler landed in a Ren Faire. Time travelers are jerks.
- Gaming - DCGN is Ready to Explode - Washington, DC - 6:00 PM
- Gaming event, regular type. Good people. Volcano themed this time. Don't ask. I have no idea.
- Art - Gin Bath Burlesque - Washington, DC - 9:00 PM
- Burlesque oh how we love it, in fact
- Art - Gigi Holiday's Girls Night Out Burlesque - Washington, DC - 8:00 PM
- we love it so much, that Red Palace is doing it...
Saturday
- Art - Art Carnage - Vienna, VA - 8:00 PM
- I couldn't find the actual description for this month's Art Carnage. Always good art though. The Improv Imps should be coming out, which is pretty freakin funny. Several DC Geekers and myself might make it out to it this weekend actually.
- Art - Sugar Shack Burlesque - Washington, DC - 9:00 PM
- 3 times this week. If you haven't checked out a Burlesque show yet, you won't be disappointed. I've seen Sugar Shack before and can say that was fun. That's not to diss the other two troupes though.
- Gaming - Gamers Brunch @ The Piratz Tavern - Silver Spring, MD - All Day
- Monthly gaming and eating and drinking event at the Piratz Tavern. Man I love the fact that we even have one of these. (a pirate drinking establishment... where is the ninja response?!?)
An exciting week! Get to it! Other weekly reoccurring events are listed on our website (such as Rocky, CCG tournaments, crazy themed happy hours...). For more information, check out the calendars at DC Geeks.
