HUZZAH!

Let's be honest right from the start, we have come together in this anonymous fashion of blogging for the simple reason that the rest of the world doesn't truly get us. You stay up tell 3am with a couple of buddies playing COD. You started off with 4 of you but one guy who left at midnight left because in the previous 3 hours of running around firing an RPG into the nearest wall and committing suicide wasn't enough for him to realize that his controller is still set on inverted.

Or maybe you're here because you've read Harry Potter, Sword of Shannara (Word and Void thru the entire Shannara Series) LOR, Enders Game and every other SciFi/Fantasy series you heard was even remotely good at least 3 times. And yes this does include the Twilight series because when it all comes down to it they are about Vampires and Werewolves going at each other and then teaming up to take on more vampires!

Or you could just be sick of your neighbor who won't stop telling you about how he just learned how to put his Gmail signature in HTML and how with it he is going to grow his latest Multi-Level fruit juice mixer that will also fertilize his lawn company into a billion dollar industry. You're probably even to the point that you want to take the keyboard to his PC (that he overpaid for because he had to have the ability to call up IT when it won't work only to have them ask if he's tried turning it off and on again) and smash it over his head just so you don't have to go and stop his identity from being stolen... again.

If this is you, or if you are some sort of hybrid/variation of these misunderstood few then we say to you WELCOME! This is a place that obsession is loved and encouraged! That the ability to waste your neighbor in the proper manner of gamesmanship and then mock him until he realizes his thumbs are as nimble as a hippo on land is celebrated. Here you no longer have to tell your coworkers that you dress up as Rorschach for Halloween because your kids are Nite Owl and the Silk Spectre. No! We do it because dressing up like a football player doesn't quite fit into your definition of awesome.

We are here to give Nerds a home! To make those obsessions that were scorned in the past rise up and take over the world. The Festival of Nerds is a coming together of all things Awesomeness in our world. It is for the gamer, the reader/ writer, the artists/designers and the programmers that make this possible. We want to hear your ideas as we will post ours. Mock us, slam us or praise us just don't ignore us for we will not allow it! If you have something you want to say.... say it (but keep it clean-ish because my mom might be looking)!

So without much ado and until further notice we pronounce this blog OPEN!

HUZZAH!
