Unintentionally, I have become busy this summer with a bunch of little projects. First, I’m working on a cosplay for Sailor Saturn. Hopefully, I’ll make a post in the future about what I learned from sewing a cosplay. I have also been writing various articles for Twin Cities Geeks like always. I’m also still a barista making coffee drinks and drinking bottomless cups of coffee. My latest project is signing up to be a contributor for Nerd Out.
Nerd Out is an app that posts geeky/nerdy events around the U.S and Europe. No matter where you are, you can find an event to attend that will meet your interests. These events are uploaded by contributors in that area. As soon as I find out about an event, I email it to our head person and they post it on the app. I’m trying to get other geeks aware of events in Minnesota so they will more than likely attend.
Another bonus of being a contributor is free stuff! Some of the contributors have been getting free geek swag from different fandoms. I haven’t received anything yet besides my nerd-out t-shirt and business cards in the mail.
Becoming a Nerd Out App contributor was super easy and it doesn’t take up much of my time. If I do get some awesome geeky free stuff, I’ll definitely write about it on this blog. For now, I’ll get back to the constant sewing of my cosplay and editing various geek articles.

How is a nerd and a geek different? Nice Mariah- you’ll be a great contributor.

A nerd is more science, math and more academic per say. I would consider myself a nerd because I do love science. Geek seems to be more pop culture so Star Wars, Harry Potter etc. Thanks Beth! 🙂

Yeah it’s really useful to see what’s going on if you need something to do. That’s why I like it.

This is aweeeeesomeeeeeee!!!! Go you!!! I had the app but there’s not much in my neck of the woods – more towards DC (i’m 1.5 hours out), so if I head there, I’ll be sure to check it out.

Maybe you could become a contributor! Nerd Out needs people from different areas so we can cover the whole U.S and the globe. Bring all the geeks together! 🙂

I downloaded this app, but was disappointed to find nothing in my area. NYC often outshines the rest of New York. Becoming a contributor is tempting, but I wouldn’t know the first place to look for events.

Looking for events can be difficult, but I have some suggestions. Check out any comic book stores, gaming stores. Midtown Comics is downtown NY and that would be a great place to start. I would also check Facebook groups. We have a Twin Cities Geeks page for Twin Cities events where I’m from. Maybe there’s a facebook group for geeks in NY?

Yeah! Honestly it will help other geeks in your area too. If you struggle with finding events, I would check comic book stores, museums and look at their event pages on Facebook. That’s a great place to start.
