We had a great time! The turnout was awesome, and the ratio of costumed attendees was brilliantly high. We look forward to working with Geekadelphia and Tattooed Mom again soon, and a repeat of this event next year!
Geekadelphia has shared a great video recap of the night, highlighting the costume contest results. Be sure to check it out!
Be on the lookout for our next social event, and also stay tuned for Geekadelphia’s 1 year birthday party later this month!
Halloween Costume Contest
Filed under: Events, Independents Hall
We announced our Halloween party with Tattooed Mom a couple of weeks ago, and since, have been musing about what makes OUR party different (besides the obvious, built in awesomeness).
We’ve partnered with Geekadelphia for a costume contest, and it’s a costume contest for the geeks by the geeks. As requested, we wanted this to be the party for you to wear the costumes that you were worried about wearing out – not because they were particularly embarrassing – but because you thought your non-geeky friends might not get it. Well, we appreciate your sense of humor and creativity, so we’re supporting that with the following costume categories:
- Fan favorite (crowd voted)
- Internet celebrity
- Best hero
- Best villain
- Most obscure
- And one “top secret” category…even if you’re not trying to win, this one might be your chance!
There’s a week and a half left until the party (including a weekend) so that’s plenty of time to finish up your costume, change your mind once or twice, or rush off to the costume store.
What are you waiting for? Get going!
Battlestar Galactica Marathon Party – A Geekadelphia + Hacktory + IndyHall throwdown!
Filed under: Events, Independents Hall
From FarMcCon on The Hacktory’s Blog:
There is a lot of tech community growing in Philadelphia, and it’s awesome to see. But frankly, we all are a bit too serious at times. Educational events, planning and networking, oh-my! Sometimes it’s too much.
To keep us from going sane due to all this productivity, Geekadelphia, TheHacktory, and IndyHall (also known as G,H&I Party Planners) are teaming up to do a Battlestar Galactica party on May 10th, starting at 5PM.
At 5PM stop in for some LAN party action, and try out the Offical BSG game and the fan-made (and award winning) Beyoned The Red Line game. Both set in the BSG Universe. We might have a spare machine on hand, but please bring your own PC if you can! Meanwhile we’ll play episodes and hang out between rounds.
At 7:30PM we will stop the gaming for a while to watch the Best of BSG. We will pick the 3 best episodes on the spot to watch. If you haven’t been watching the show, this is your chance to see what everyone is raving about.
And while you are watching, you can chew on Cyclon raider cookies and Battlestar shaped cake. I kid you not!! Out food-scientists are hard at work planning every detail of this modern meal monstrosity. Of course the I’m sure the party will continue even after the ‘Best Of has been watched, and the ships have been consumed Glacticus style.
If you plan on snacking, we suggest you either bring some BSG themed food, or bring along $5 to chip in for pizza, drinks, and other snacks. If you want to game, please bring your own PC. If you want to help make this happen, please e-mail FarMcKon@gmail.com, with the subject BSG Party Planning. We’d love the help. Cyclon Raider cookies don’t bake themselves!
