Episode 16: Convention Currency

Admin@geekfatale.com (Nateal Erickson and Cassie Chapman) — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 13:54:48 PDT

In our second installment of our convention series, we discuss the biggest part of any convention adventure: MONEY!

Whatever convention you patronize, Jennifer Chess and I share some secrets for saving money when it comes to swag, hotel, travel, etc. If just ONE person saves ONE dollar, our work here is done! :)

Geek Fatale is BACK!

Admin@geekfatale.com (Nateal Erickson and Cassie Chapman) — Sun, 01 Jul 2012 12:17:50 PDT

Geek Fatale is back with a new look, new voices, and a slightly new format. Episode 15: GenCon Revisited features a new co-host, Jennifer Chess! In this episode, we learn about our new host, Pathfinder Society Games, and the pros and cons of conventions with a special focus on GenCon.

Episode 15: GenCon Revisited
http://ia600709.us.archive.org/34/items/Episode15GenConRevisted/GenConPt1.mp3

On a slightly sad note, Nateal has departed Geek Fatale as our regular co-host. The note is only SLIGHTLY sad, because she is not gone for good AND she is now dedicating her time to her NEW podcast, The Underground, an epic Pokemon podcast. Visit The Underground at http://theundergroundpodcast.wordpress.com/ to learn more.

Ladies, Shop the Universe!

Admin@geekfatale.com (Nateal Erickson and Cassie Chapman) — Mon, 25 Jun 2012 17:36:38 PDT

Answer the following questions:

Are you a geek?

Are you or do you know a geek girl?
If you've answered yes to these questions, you MUST go to Her Universe.

Founded by Ashley Eckstein (Do I even need to SAY it Star Wars fans?? The voice of Ahsoka Tano in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, of course!) and The Araca Group, Her Universe creates fan GIRL merch.

"Noticing a need for merchandise for female sci-fi fans, I founded Her Universe, a product line just for Her, starting with Star Wars and expanding to other well known franchises such as Syfy!"

-Ashley Eckstein

"Female sci-fi fans are growing in numbers and have largely gone unnoticed until now. Hoping to change the perception that science fiction and fantasy is not just for the boys, Her Universe, has joined forces with Lucasfilm and Syfy to create merchandise exclusively for female fans. Starting out with apparel, accessories and cosmetics, Her Universe will make fangirls "geek chic" from head to toe!"

Hello Geek Nation!

Welcome to Episode 14 of the Geek Fatale podcast.
