Funny you akd. It's never been done in the past, but we are currently talking with the producers of the show about coming to Pittsburgh, in the mean time we are trying to figure out if we would have enough people willing to participate. So just informally if there are any Single Guys or Gals that would be interested, give a yell!! You're not committing to anything I'm just trying to get a feel for whether we should pursue it or not!

For those of you that don't know what Bsimon and I are talking about, it's a SCI-FI SPEED DATING SHOW on TLC called GEEK LOVE.

I saw an episode of the show within the last week.  I thought it was interesting.  I wouldnt be taking part as I'm married, but I can certainly empathize with those folks who aren't comfortable just opening up point blank to strangers, especially if they're attractive members of the opposite sex in a speed dating setting.  You may be just starting to find some type of common ground to talk about and it would be time to move on to someone new.

Having said that...I think it would be a neat promotional bit if the Pittsburgh Con is represented on the show in the future.

i was at my friends comic shop today and i was talking to him about it and he said it sounded kinda cool and interesting but wasn't sure he would do it. i dont think he has the balls to  lol

 

id like to watch a session and see what its all about bc they kinda skim through it real fast on the show. i dont have a problem meeting ladies but i do have a problem with them accepting my hobbies and not all of the revolve around "geeky" things.

 

i told him i didnt think i would try something like that but i will if it helps you all out some. being on camera tho, idk about that lol
