Happy Geek Pride Day!

Let me get this straight: it's Towel Day, Geek Pride Day, the Glorious 25th of May, *AND* Star Wars' birthday? How can I NOT post something on this most auspicious of geeky occasions?

So here's what made me laugh out loud with delight today:
The caption on Reddit was, "I asked Bill for an autograph. I got this instead." 



So much win, my head just a'sploded.

- And here's a great roundup of Star Wars Etsy crafts from Mashable.

 Darth tutu. 'Nuff said.

- And in case you missed it on the Epbot FB page, here's an adorable little girl dressed as Iron Man for her fifth birthday party:

I stumbled across Alana's photo while looking for Iron Man Sweets for CW. Another party pic shows a different little girl dressed as a princess. Yay for little girls who know what they like - princesses, superheroes, or all or none of the above - and aren't afraid to celebrate it!

I hope you guys let your geek flag fly today, too! And have a fantastic weekend!

  4. Why yes, I did wear a spring of Lilac today. Fortunately ours were later than our neighbors' since ours are mostly in shade.

    I will never part with my signed copy of Night Watch.

  8. Today is SUPER Towel Day (for the reason mentioned above by Gina)!

    I love that we geeks can easily find each other online nowadays - used to be so hard to find fellow geeks unless you had a Con show up in your city. =)
