Nerdapalooza 2010

Sorry for the late post, however with how my new schedule is I may just be migrating blog-postin’-day to Saturdays instead of Fridays. I apologize if this makes anyone extremely sad, but I’m thinking of starting a mailing list, which I’ll mail out all the main details out to on Friday still so you can stay on top of the game. I know we’ve had mailing lists that haven’t worked out in the past, but with the new server we’re (still in the middle of) migrating to, I think it’ll be simpler to coordinate. I’m starting to (finally) get on top of this internet technology game (with a little help from my new job over at Cloudspace). I will figure out the mailing list thing and have it available for signing up by next week’s blog. Even if I don’t get a lot of content out before NAP 2010, at least you can start getting info early for 2011, and I promise no spamming

But enough about that, let’s get down to the nitty gritty: new artists!! I got two for ya this week, and I think you’re gonna really enjoy both of them. First is a returning artist from 2008’s event. Random Encounter is a local video game cover band with a front man that rocks an accordion. Yeah… it’s as awesome as it sounds! We’re really excited to be able to have them back! Then next up is a brand new artist to Nerdapalooza, representing a very unrepresented scene of musicians until now, George Hrab. This growing scene of musicians that grab their inspiration from science and skepticism is definitely a growing one if you include artists like Tim Minchin and John Boswell leading the Symphony of Science project. Like most of them, Geo’s wit and clever lyrics really makes for an enjoyable and comical listening experience and I’m REALLY excited to have him with Nerdapalooza. I’m also excited about how excited he seems to be, as heard in the most recent edition of his podcast, the Geologic Podcast, episode 166. The Nerdapalooza bit starts about 41 minutes in, but the entire episode (as is every episode) is very entertaining and highly recommended for your RSS feed.

I’d like to keep it quick and simple for ya this week, as I have a lot to get down and work on. I think I can bet on more news next week as well as that mailing list to look forward to, so don’t stray too far, o beloved reader!
