Reminder: Nerdist podcast Friday live in Boulder, with me!

More shameless self-promotion…

A quick reminder: if you’re in the Boulder area and you’re a geek, you want to come to megaultrasupduperstar Chris Hardwick’s live Nerdist podcast being recorded at the Boulder Theater on Friday, March 2, at 8:00 p.m. (doors open at 7). Tickets are on sale now.

Oh, and did I mention the super-A-list celebrity guest is… me? OK, maybe those adjectives don’t exactly fit, but still, I’m the guest. And knowing Chris — and me — I expect this will be a nerd-out of epic proportions, mixed with juvenile humor. Count on it.

You can get more info at my earlier post about this. I am way, way excited about this!

I hope to see some local BABloggees there! Enjoy your burrito.

    Hmmm, if I leave work in Jackson, WY at 5 tomorrow, drive 200mph/321kph, and don’t get slowed down by the snow we are expecting, or blown off the road by the wind around Rawlins, WY I will be there.

    Yeah I probably won’t make it dagnabit.

    “juvenile humor”

    That’s exactly what I’m gettin at! ;)

    It’s oh so beyond us, but still funny in a primitive kind of a way..

    Squeee! I’m so looking forward to this. I sadly won’t be there ;( but it’ll be in the podcast stream in no time.

    Don’t forget to tell them about the 21812 Gneiss Night Out performance of Death From The Skies!

    AMAZING job last night, Phil! I have been exposed to your work and can’t wait to start following your posts! We had so much fun and can’t wait to see what the future holds for you and any more lectures coming up!
