Geekadelphia Goes To University City

February 12, 2008 in Food,Philadelphia,Star Wars,Videos with 6 Comments

This past weekend, Tim and I were invited up to Pod in University City for dinner with several writers from Crunchgear, Jaunted, and We Jet Set. Good times were had talking about Star Wars, geeky gear, and blogging. You can see some of them towards the end of the video. What’s up guys!

We decided that the trip up to University City from Tim’s place in Old City might make for an entertaining video, especially while riding Philly’s subway. And we were right. Pod is also a design geek’s dream. Cool furniture and some seriously amazing lighting.

Enjoy the interesting characters and hilarity along the way. You might want to adjust your volume here and there. Afterall, I am working with a $80 camcorder I bought at an electronics shop in Market East.

And be sure to check out our other video, a tour of Brave New Worlds Comics in Old City.

About Eric: Eric spends most of his time writing, taking pictures, reading, and hanging out with his chinchilla and bunny.

    Attention to all Star Wars fans in the Philadelphia area:

    The Philadelphia 76ers are hosting a Sci-Fi/Star Wars dress up contest on April 22nd against the New Jersey Nets. They will select the best dressed fan and that fan will receive a $500 prize. The first 10,000 fans be given glo sticks. Storm Troopers, Ewoks and Jawas will be roaming the concourse during the game. For additional information and tickets go to sixers.com or comcasttix.com.

    I was actually invited to participate in that event with Garrison Carida of the 501st but sadly cannot make it due to out-of-town Easter Weekend plans.

    it WILL definately be an awesome event because Troopers from all around Philly, NJ, and NYC will be making appearances.
