Nerdy Rock: Welcome to GeekChicNYC!
GCNYC is picking the secret seeds from The Big Apple's nerdcore.
Why do so many superheroes (Spider-Man, Captain America, the Watchmen, etc.) make New York their home? Because there's no better city worth saving. Sometimes there's so much happening it's overwhelming. GCNYC cuts through the chaos. From secret screenings to unparalleled parties, our free daily email will uncover what warrants taking the G to the L
to the 3.
#1. You Damned Dirty Ape! – Swing by a double feature of King Kong and Tarzan and His Mate, both restored to their Pre-Code versions when black & whites went blue. That means Tarzan and Jane in the buff! (Film Forum, August 6, $12.50)
#2. Mystic Mart – Williamsburg's new gaming boutique, twenty sided store, is like FAO Schwarz for halflings and paladins. (362 Grand St., Brooklyn)
#3. Epic Rock – The story of Beowulf (the world's first superhero?) meets '40s jazz, indie rock and punk. Grendel gets beat down with a downbeat. (Littlefield, August 2, 7:30pm, $20)
#4. Komic Khronicle - Comic archivist Craig Yoe illustrates why the innovative comic strip Krazy Kat is nothing to throw a brick at. (The Strand Bookstore, August 4, 7pm, free)
Our mission is to help you find places to hang out with people who won't just talk about Wall Street and the Yankees all day. You're welcome! Tell your friends! (and win a tauntaun sleeping bag!)
