Who wants to go to Nerdapalooza in Orlando with me?
Tony Ponce | 9:03 PM on 07.01.2011 3 comments




Hey there, all you Chilly Willies! It's been a while since I've popped up on the community blogs. It's been way too long, I know!

Anyway, I've got a message for all my Florida peeps. From July 15 through 17 (two weeks from now), Nerdapalooza will be going down in Orlando. If you've never heard of it, it's an annual geek music festival featuring the hottest in nerdcore and arranged game tunes and what not. They've got great acts like brentalfloss, Mega Ran, Metroid Metal, The OneUps, The Protomen, and others, including a personal fave of mine, 8-bit Duane. It sounds like a blast and a half, doesn't it?

I am most definitely going, although I wouldn't mind having a bit of company. I really would like to go all three days, but I may end up just going on Saturday (that's when all the best performers play, anyway). If you are in Orlando or a few hours away, please stop on by! Just let me know by shooting an email to megastryke AT gmail DOT com or tony AT destructoid DOT com, or send me a message on Facebook.

Any takers? I'll be your best friend!

I would love to go... if it wasn't pretty much on the opposite side of the continent from me! :(

Have fun though!

If I weren't 3000 miles away, I'd be all over this. I'm sure it's a silly question, but you put the word out to DtoidOrlando already, right?
