Ex-nun nerd comic...one night only...

kellidunham — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 17:59:01 GMT

Kelli Dunham is a genderqueer Brooklyn based ex-nun nerdcomic; a Wisconsin farmboi transplant who juxtaposes midwestern friendliness with New York attitude in a way that has been described as both "horrifying" and "hilarious."

In "Why Is The Fat One Always Angry" (her sixth one person show and her soon to be released third comedy CD) she continues on her quest to make comedy where slam poetry dares not tread. The show will address the important questions of our time, such as:

Why were there so many failed tubal ligations the year Kelli was born?
Is it okay to call your mom for the sole purpose of obtaining comedy material?
How is the Bible like the DSM?
What does being over 40 have to do with dead rabbits and the butch ego?
How many library books can one person take on vacation anyway?

Opening for Kelli will be Philadelphia's Superhero Storyteller R Eric Thomas.

Advancetickets or rsvp on facebook or check out Kelli's comedy.

Hi All!

seerinc — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 01:17:20 GMT

Ok- short and sweet...

Adult male gamer LFG for D&D, Cyberpunk, whatever.

Have many years of experience in many different games.

Prefer the outer boros- namely Staten Island/Brooklyn, but can go pretty much anywhere.

Days/times are open.

Hey guys.

seerinc — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 18:47:32 GMT

I run a resource/support center for our returning military and their families. SISOS.org.
We just received state legislation allowing us to open up a food pantry on Staten Island. It is a daunting task, but something that has been needed for quite some time.
Here's my current dilemma and my plea.
We need some form of software that will accomplish some pretty specific tasks. Basically a point of sale system combined with an inventory control program all tied into a database with two different levels of accessibility.
Everything that I have found on line is so far out of our price range as to be laughable since we are a non-profit organization supported mainly by private donations.
Does anyone have any information which may be of assistance- or is someone out there into programming and needs a tax write off?
If anything pops into mind, please contact me at seerinc@yahoo.com or 347-280-8129. Just ask for Paul.

Thanks in advance.

All I have to say is...

seerinc — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 04:34:06 GMT

Watch this...

Parts 1 and 2 are up now. part 3 goes up on Saturday. the whole thing comes down on Sunday.

Joss Wheeden, Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillian doing their take on a superhero musical.

Funny.

I need some help

seerinc — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 22:26:42 GMT

Hey folks,

Would everyone please check their phones and memories for me?

I am in serious need of a headhunter.

Looking for a middle to upper level management position. Possibly in a troubleshooting, customer service or project management capacity.
If you know of something that might be available, I'll give you the info you need.

Thank you very much.

I attack the darkness!

john_jaman — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 21:45:48 GMT

The website I work for just released this subtitler game, so I thought I'd share my geekness with the world. This is only one of the ones I've made... this thing is like crack.

Cheers!

Gotta get the word out!

Hey folks

seerinc — Tue, 06 May 2008 01:06:51 GMT

Hey guys.

First off- let me apologize for taking up the space here but I seem to find myself in a bit of a dilemma.

I have a Macy's credit/exchange card in the amount of $234.09.
I am never going to use it.

Does anyone here shop at Macy's?

I have the receipt for it and I am willing to meet you at Macy's so you can scan it in to see the value, but since I won't be using it- and I do need the cash- does anyone want to buy it?

Call me. 347-280-8129

Feel free to pass the info along to someone who might need it- but please be careful with my number. (He says as he posts to groups he belongs to...)

Hey folks,

I have a friend who's looking for a fantasy type e-rpg or some such that's low in magic and sex, heavy on the RP'ing and generally pg-13 through R rated and welcoming to new players.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

What is I-CON?

Attended by over 6,000 people each year, I-CON is a three day festival, designed to encourage literacy, creativity and interest in science and technology through science fiction and its related genres. Programming at I-CON spans a wide range of topics and interests, including science fiction, fantasy, horror, Japanese animation (otherwise known as Anime), science and technology, comic books, and medieval reenactment.

Guest speakers are invited from around the world to share their experiences in their fields, information about any new or upcoming projects and their insights into the genre with their fans. Over the course of the convention, guests typically will participate in panel discussions, give workshops and demonstrations, sign autographs, and interact with their fans on a one on one basis in such venues as the Awards Banquet. With so much to offer, I-CON is able to appeal to a diverse audience, including college students, senior citizens and families with young children.
