The 2013 edition of Geek Girl Con is now taking submissions for panel ideas. They're looking for topics as varied as science, media, business, sci-fi, comics, film, computer programming, and sports. You can pitch your ideas at their website through May 15. This year's Geek Girl Con will take place at Washington State Convention Center's Conference Center on October 19 and 20; you can buy tickets here.

Why do they think all nerds are into sci fi? So stupid.

@3 Where do you see anywhere in that press release they state ALL nerds are into sci-fi?

"They're looking for topics as varied as science, media, business, sci-fi, comics, film, computer programming, and sports."

It's A topic of consideration. Wow.

I clicked this because I figured you were writing a note to me. Sometimes I think it might be true that the universe doesn't revolve around me.

Oh yeah, and the information I thought you wanted me to share is that Champagne Champagne isn't going to be at penumbra tomorrow. After throwing my hissy fit and my friends still wanting to go for beer, I have decided to stop throwing said fit, although it is still raging inside.
