PODIUM at THE GEEK AWARDS: I FORGOT TO MENTION HOW AWESOME IT WAS PLUS PHILLYMAG LINK

August 19, 2013 by HughE Dillon

I didn’t realize until Saturday night that I was a geek. I always thought a geek, nerd, was an techy, mensa intelligent kinda person, really into their gadgets, now I have gadgets, but only because I’m ‘married’ to a get and he keeps me rolling in gadgets. But I learned a geek is also someone who obseseses, I mean has a passion for a particular subject, collection or something. I think nearly everything I tweet makes me a geek. I am an info geek, an over sharer geek, a photo geek and so much more. I embrace my Geekness. (I’m married to a very happy geek too, maybe that’s were our mutual attraction comes from.  Check out my awesome, and I’m not to shy to say it’s awesome, post over on PhillyMag about the awesome Geek Awards Night. I might not have stayed up all night writing the post like I did for the Hamels Gala, but I stood in the back of the auditorium for the 2 hrs ceremony.

I forgot to mention how awesome the podium was this year.
2010

 2011 – was pretty darn good
But this one is right up there with Lady Gaga’s video for Applause. 
Outstanding. I love, love, love how the Academy of Natural Sciences allowed them to move this head of a dinosaur this close to the podium. Those things are priceless. They must have forbidden everyone to drink that got near it, except for that one lady who said she already had too much scotch and was slurring her words.
