Sailor Moon Party via Rob Speed

A showcase of this week's finest geek and geek related activities for the week.  Mark your calendars.

Longer Term

• Conventions - Intervention 2011 - Rockville, MD - Friday to Sunday
•   A basic needs level nerd con.  Internet, geek talk, gaming, meme watching, and all sorts of related stuff.  Super Art Fight's showing up for this as well.

Monday

• Art - Clown Cabaret - Washington, DC - 8:00 PM
• Local clown comedy / performance piece.  Takes clowning to a serious level. :)

Tuesday

• General - Sailor Moon Party - Washington, DC - 5:00 PM
•  A celebration of the release of Sailor Moon.  Sailor Moon photo shoot and general gathering.  Sailor Moon has always had a presence at just about every nerd gathering I've been to or heard of.
• Music - Mediaeval Baebes - Alexandria, VA - 7:30 PM
• A musical performance by a group that normally comes out to play at the Maryland Reniassance Festival.  Doing their own solo performance.  Medieval styled music with a spash of comedy.
  

Saturday

• General - Run Geek Run! 8k - Washington, DC - 8:00 AM
• An attempt by a bunch of people to get geeks to exercise more often.  Sort of focused on those of that that work in office jobs and tend not to see the sun very often *cough*... I'm sure it's not that many people.  Themed run.
• General - Lolita Picnic -Washington, DC - 12:00 PM
• DC Anime club's second showing this week, for a Lolita themed picnic up in DC.  There are a couple of good talks and discussions on what Lolita is, but it has a very strong current in Anime, new and classic.
• Music - Devo Spice -  Rockville, MD - 12:00 PM
•  One of the musicians that are doing geek music I've been getting into more lately.  He's at Intervention 2011 for this.  I feel bad not listing a lot of other musicians there, but hey, he rarely seems to come out for non convention stuff. :(
  

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.
