Cycle 2 Premier!! Episode 6 – Convention Etiquette – the Cosplay Angle

Posted on October 1, 2012 by Kelley

Cycle 2 is finally here, and in this episode, I’m joined by co-hosts Paris, The Business, and Sean Ryan from Alpha Counter.com!

We attempt to discuss ways to use costuming at fan conventions as a method to approach and or attract potential mates, but how to not seem like a creepy stalker or a complete asshat.

I say attempt, because we also take a considerable amount of time discussing the greatness that is Sweden, religion-porn, STDs of the eye, “Vajazzleing,” Yip-Yips, opossums, and the classic Liam Neeson flick, TAKEN.

I promise at least 20% of this podcast is at least marginally on topic.

Enjoy!

Cycle 1, we hardly knew ya…

In this week’s Episode, we close out Cycle 1 with a discussion about how to seal the deal at the end of a date. My co-hosts, Shane and Mimi, share with us their adventures in love that began at LARP, and continues in a future Gypsie Caravan into the sunset. We’ll cover awkward end-of-date “kicking rocks” situations, comunicating desires, and end up doing some wedding planning to put and end cap on our journey through dating. Cycle 2 starts soon – see you in a couple of weeks – and thank for listening and participating!

Bonus: A prize to the first person who can tell me the time stamp of the following phantom sounds: A dog drinking water, two cat meows, a satisfied purr, and a plastic peanut butter jar being tongue-cleaned on a kitchen floor.

Dapper Cat has Queries…

Good Day, Sir.

Cycle/Season 2 will start in a month, and as we enjoy Episodes 4 and 5 (soon to come) we need more people to submit comments, questions, topics to discuss – whatever you would like to hear about next season.

We’ll still be talking about dating and relationships between geeks, but in a less structured format. There will be new co-hosts, returning favorites, and more helpful hilarity to keep you current in the dating scene.

So, email anything you want (well, not spam) to moderngeekcast@gmail.com, or post a message on our Facebook Fan Page and we’ll answer all your wishes!

Level 3 – Pulling the Elite:

In this episode, Sh*t gets real as we drop F-bombs and enter the darkness through tangents and misunderstanding.

Three co-hosts, Markell, Gretchen, and the Mysterious “Q,” help me discuss the terrifying task of actually asking someone out. We’ll discuss how being brave is better than being smooth, and Q and I enter into a shaky treaty on behalf of geek men and women everywhere.

So, Enjoy…and when you’re done listening, you want to grab a cup of coffee or something?

Episode 1 is GO!

Posted on July 16, 2012 by Kelley

Who knows how long it will take iTunes to upload the file (I’ve heard when you mark an upload as “Explicit” – which I always do since F-bombs are serious business – it has to be super-reviewed), but the direct download link is here:
