4 PM at the JBL theater inside theĀ EMP MuseumĀ (Seattle, WA)

Are you a fan of science fiction, fantasy, horror, action, gaming, science, anime, roller derby, cosplay, comic books, technology, B-movies, LARPing and video games? Then come by to the first-annualĀ GeekGirlConĀ and hear me talk about my experiences atĀ Alternative PressĀ during the burgeoning emo scene. I saw all the blood, sweat, tears, and eyeliner that went into being a chart-topping successā€”and you might not ever hear these juicy stories again! Join me as I question why most of the emo girls are in front of the stage and not on it and why many girls aspire to be muses instead of musicians.Ā Reserve your pass nowĀ and be a part of geek girl history! I’ll also be doing a signing onĀ Oct. 9 at 3 PM at The University Book Store (Booth #308-309).
