   GeekintheCity's Blurbs
About me:
I am the founder and head writer of GeekintheCity.com, a website devoted to the latest in movies, comics, tabletop games, digital pastimes, and all things Geek. My fascination with comics, film, music, and obscure trivia has transformed into a lifelong pursuit of pop culture knowledge. A precocious writer who started out by spinning elaborate stories based on my favorite sci-fi and adventure franchises, (the first being Indiana Jones and the Key of Cortez...what? I was 9) I befuddled my grade-school teachers, who were convinced that no child could write that well at such a young age. (Yea, because my mother was going to write about Indiana Jones, asshats). When not hard at work on my plans for pop culture domination, I create highly acclaimed independent films, freelance in many forms of media, explore the minutiae of pop culture, and shares my love of all things Geek with the world through my writing.

Oh yea, I make movies too...

Geek Swag You Must Own!

No, I have no shame at all...

..
Who I'd like to meet:
Julius Schwartz - A giant of the comic book industry, Julius sadly departed this multiverse a couple of years ago. I wish I could have met him and thanked him personally for replying to my purple crayon written letter to DC comics at the ripe age of 8 when I told him I loved Batman and had a great story idea... He thanked me and told me to look him up in 10 years for a job. Wish I could have done that...

Harlan Ellison - One of my personal heroes as a writer. Sure, some folks think he can be a major bastard... But, that is why I love his work. (To say nothing of the fact that I think he is talented beyond measure).

William Shatner - Um, cause he's William Shatner and I'm not.

There is a whole grip of people I would like to meet... But, that is enough for now.

Geek Swag You Must Own!

Thanks a lot for the add ! EletriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check EletriKa out!

Hugs from Brazil,
