Finally, a review of Brave New World’s Valentine’s Day Ge3k Singles Night. I convinced a couple of friends to attend with me. Adam’s a Comic-Con attending, graphic novel writing, certified geek. Whereas Whitney, not so much.
Please note Therese's "Jail Bait" sticker. Married people and underaged individuals were clearly defined.
We arrived at Brave New World to be greeted by my friends Therese and Michael. We met on the Browncoat Cruise, so our friendship has been rooted in the geeky. Therese gave us the grand tour of Brave New World and introduced us to Portlyn and Atom, who as the owners of Brave New World, are responsible for bringing geeks together. All sorts of geeks in all sorts of age ranges were present. I even ran into Autumn’s co-worker Josh. I have to admit, I was impressed by the turnout, impressed by the atmosphere, and impressed by energy of the event. And I learned that Brave New World puts on an event about every 6 weeks, with most of them being Ge3K Single’s Nights.
Portlyn. This Geek Girl runs a great comic book store.
The next event for Brave New World is Free Comic Day in May. Portland promised to do some pre-screening before that event to help me achieve my life long goal of kissing a cute Stormtrooper.
Whitney and Adam forgot to tell me to wear Converse.
Bands played, geeks mingled. It was a good night. Up until we went to see a midnight showing of Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. Just ask Adam. He hasn’t stopped talking about how it was the worst movie ever.
It's true. Love and Falcon are in the air.

Christy, I am so glad you came up, and it was great to finally meet Whitney. Being so far removed from many cool happenings in the greater L.A. area, I like to be able to help promote events closer to my home. Portlyn and Atom! have made their store a hub of social activity above and beyond what I ever expected of a comic book store. Thank you for showing up, and thank you for the kind review of one of my favorite stores, and more importantly, it’s owners.
(Wishing I could edit my spelling and punctuation errors) :/
ooo ooo, I wanna go to the next party!
Therese! It was so fun. We should definitely plan to get together more often.
Yay Autumn. And you and my best friend Drew can wear jailbait stickers.
That was a fascinating night…
