Folks!

I'm going to my hometown - Palm Springs - and this time, its not to visit my parents or to be nagged about my vegetable intake. Oh no, this time, I'm going to show Nerdcore Rising at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. Palm Springs is a weird place - lots of golf and senior citizens so its not necessarily a place where the nerd population might find itself and the film festival is not known to show movies like this at all. But this desert town still produced a fiilmmaker and quite sensibly the festival is trying to give every student in the desert a chance to see the film - so they're making it FREE for students and their parents! They're also making it free for my friends and family which in my extremely broad definition includes you guys. So, if you wanna see the movie and you live in the desert of Southern Californa, shoot me an email and I'll get you on some sort of list! Details below. 

Happy New Year,  my homeys.

Love,

negin

your dutiful desert filmmaker

Palm Springs Film Festival screening:

Wednesday, January 7, 2009

7pm

Regal Cinemas, 789 East Tahquitz Canyon Way

Free for students and you!

The video is the only thing I have to say today, folks.

There's a totally and completely premeditated and thoroughly planned intentional mistake in the video. For 10 points, see if you can find it. Enjoy!

Love,

Nerd-loving Homeys!

You know what will counteract the tryptophan-laden stupor you'll have after T-Giving? A screening of Nerdcore Rising! Followed by Frontalot/Lars/YT Cracker in concert! In fact, you'll be able to do both of those things on Friday Nov. 28. First you'll see the screening at 7pm at the Alamo Drafthouse, then you'll watch me, Frontalot, Black Lotus, and the Sturgenius do an amazing and riveting and totally earth shattering post-screening Q&A! And then, we will all stroll casually over to the Flamingo Cantina where we will watch the Front, the Lars, and the YT Cracker regale us with hilariously nerdy lyrics, over-your-head technology references, and the poo-pooing of poor grammar! It shall be fun. 

And, you can repeat that nearly exact experience in Atlanta on Dec. 5th.

  

Information is always here!

Love is always here,

Peeps!

This is me reminding you that the movie is playing in San Francisco tonight! and tomorrow night! and for the rest of our lives! (that's not true, only tonight and tomorrow night, Nov. 19). I'll be there, the Front will be there, and if we're lucky Sturgenius and Blak Lotus will be there too! Let the homeys know and buy tix, many many tix here.

Here's a kindly review from a Bay Area journalist of the highest honor.

Our nerdly motion picture will also find its way south to Hollywood where technology is used not for the awesomifcation of computers but for the pimping-out of cars, the photographing of celebrities, and the largening of racks on females. Friday Nov. 21 and Saturday Nov. 22 is when our decidedly non-Hollywood film and our humble LA fans will take over a small stretch of palm tree-ed earth in a mystical geeky union. Tix are $8 but if you want to reserve them, email NerdcoreRisingLA@gmail.com with your name, showtime, number in party, and a phone number. More details here.

You can find me in LA and SF but sadly, I won't be making it to another punchy opening of Nerdcore Rising in Portland from Nov. 21-26 at the Clinton Street Theater. But you will make it because you live there (hopefully, maybe? you got some friends there? a mom or an aunt? anyone?). Those deets are here.

Have I been treating our friends in NYC rather cruelly? It's true that I have because the movie hasn't shown there yet (but it will, it will! I promise!!). So, let me make it up to you: You can catch Schaffer the Darklord (STD) at the Delancey on Thursday Nov. 20 with extremely special guest Shael Riley. They both rule because one of them is in the movie, and the other provided music for the movie. We've been in love ever since. You'll enjoy the pants out of this show so please go see it. 

That about does it for me. I'm editing some shit that you'll hopefully be consuming very very soon because the next missive will be in video format!

love,

negin

Peeps! 

Thanks for all who emailed/posted about our shitty accident. The luv felt good, real good. 

I just wanted to remind you folks that we are T-minus three days away from Nerdcore Rising bliss in San Francisco. Tuesday Nov. 18 and Wednesday Nov. 19 mark our magic days at the Red Vic so please come out and if you do, say hello, I'll be there!

And, if you're looking for some entertainment to tide you over before my next video blog (coming shortly), you can watch this other thing I randomly made for a Liftime TV contest (and also randomly won). There's another voting opportunity there because while I won the electoral votes, I still have the opportunity to win the popular vote.

Sweet,
