Science Museum: Geek Prom: Any Questions?

One of these days, I'm going to give in to my urge to just start randomly selecting post titles from the list Firefox provides me when I click on the text field. But that's neither here nor there.

Yes, too much of my blogging is stolen from Dr. Myers these last few days, but if you bring it up at a party, I've got a knife.

Anyways, due to his non-magical powers, I discovered the existence of the imminent Geek Prom at the Science Museum of Minnesota on Saturday, 22 April 2006.

On the one hand, I am generally loathe to participate in ritualistic events involving odd costuming, bland social interactions, and other forms of oneupsmanship. Yes, I just managed to encapsulate my irritation at everything from comic conventions to churchgoing in one sentence. But anyways, that's because I'm an overly cynical jerk, which you should not let get in the way of yourself having a good time. I myself would like to attend, as it occurs right at the end of my Hell Week.

At the very least, I figure it should be ~237% as interesting as Goth Prom. To their credit, however, I must point out that they've finally figured out that Monday at the beginning of finals might be a bad time for some of their clientele. If I recall correctly, I think last year was the time I went and just read about visual systems networks for my Neuroscience final the next day while swilling red wine.

But I could just be making that up. These things do happen.
