Thankful thoughts

28 Nov

Just a short note today to say “Thank you” to each and every one of you who visits this site, follows the facebook, twitter, or google plus pages, comments (though… a little more commenting would be awesome!), and interacts with the NerdLush crew. We appreciate you so much. I’ll be honest, we do these posts and have this site for ourselves but to be able to share with so many… it is a blessing.  Continue reading

24 Nov

I’m back with some new bits of music that have recently come in to my collection. And they all come from some favorite artists! Continue reading

Wanna attend a convention without leaving your house? Now you can!

22 Nov

Followers of this site know that we are big fans of our friends Yuri Lowenthal and Tara Platt. Their energy and humor are always good for some fun. And they are putting together something special for fans- but don’t take my word for it. Let’s hear from the source themselves-

Gotham… do I like it or not?

18 Nov

As I type this, I am halfway through the ninth episode of Gotham. And I still can’t decide if I like it.

Forever Knight followed “Nick Knight”, a homicide detective who just happened to be an 800 year old vampire. The series was a follow-up to the 1989 TV movie, Nick Knight, starring Rick Springfield. The series starred Geraint Wyn Davies as the moody detective.  Continue reading

A little John Barrowman is good for the soul.

10 Nov

As previously mentioned in the recent Comikaze Expo post, NerdLush caught the John Barrowman panels at the convention. We also caught them on video for those not able to attend the convention… and to be honest, because we just adore the man and wanted to be able to watch the panels again.

Stan Lee’s Comikaze Expo graduates to an event for all

8 Nov

Stan Lee’s Comikaze Expo recently celebrated its fourth year with it’s largest event to date. The convention has grown immensely since it began in 2011- but it’s done so smartly; it doesn’t feel too big for its space or time. Over all, it was a fun filled weekend of nerdy adventuring.

I’ve attended Comikaze every year- however, this was the first year I attended all 3 days (though Friday was just a short visit to get a feel for it and pick up our passes). It was also the first year I’d participated in a panel.

But it’s not all about me- let’s talk about the guests. Continue reading

Halloween has come and gone…

3 Nov

Not much happened for NerdLush in the way of scares this year. There was a friendly movie night with screenings of Slither and Cabin in the Woods, but that was pretty much it until this weekend when on vacation to the city of Angels.

A visit to the entertainment capitol of the world- or at least that’s the claim- came full of shrieks and screams as Universal Studios Hollywood was once again transformed into “Halloween Horror Nights”. Of the four in the party, all but one had been before, and two were not fans of things jumping out and scaring them. But the end report from all four was that it was a good and fun evening of scares.

ZappCon, Year One

26 Oct

After spending the better part of a decade in major cities, and adventuring off to parts unknown (alright, just other parts of the U.S.), it’s tough to attend a small convention and come out happy. However, after relocating back to California’s Central Valley, NerdLush has attempted to get back into the community in the area. Which means attending the inaugural year for ZappCon.

Hey, sister- can you spare a dime? Let’s help make an album!

20 Oct

Not too long ago I fell in love with the UK version of Primeval which led to checking out the Syfy channel version Primeval: New World. I loved it. And bonus fun, there was a hauntingly beautiful song at the end of one episode that I had to have. Continue reading
