This Week in Geekery June 8- 15
So Spy defeated Entourage at the box office this weekend, people traveled to Niagara Falls for a Con, but in my mind patios trumped them all!
This week leads up to a prime bit of geekery: The 10th anniversary charity screening of Serenity! If Firefly tugs on a single heart string, why not head to a theater full of people who know when to wince. Great news, you have time to binge watch the entire TV series before Saturday!
