the modern geek

Back when I was a geek, times were much simpler.
There were no furries, there was no cosplay, and you went to cons to game & hit the dealer room for some offbeat stuff.

Now look what they get up to!

here are some highlights:

Harry Potter Through the Curriculum
Using Hogwarts style classes and curriculum to homeschool or supplement children's education.


Pagan Devotional Service
A pan-pagan ceremony for those who desire pagan fellowship.


Geek of My Dreams
Where is my Geek? Panelists discuss what makes someone a geek, and what makes them sexually attractive.


Cosplay
Cosplay is frequently seen as a Japanese subculture, centering on people who dress up as anime, manga and video characters. But is it limited to this, or does it simply mean wearing a costume? What sort of research and materials do you need for this? What makes a good performance in the con hallway or on stage?


Filk Circle with the Fan GoH
Come join our Fan Guest of Honor in the Filk Lounge as she presents a variety of her filk works.



True fact
Bobo once wrote several FILK SONGS and published them in the pre-internet game geek bible Alarums & Excursions.
