This is the first day of C2E2 comic convention at McCormick’s place. You’ll be roaming the hall for deals….scrounging away money on collectibles..but what should you do once the dealer’s hall closes? Here are several events that might perk your interests all happening TOMORROW TODAY, MARCH 18, 2011! YESTERDAY. The party ain’t over until the sun comes up.
Boobs and Goombas: Super Mario Burlesque @11:00 PM
What do boobs and the Super Mario Brothers have in common? Boobs and Goombas: A Super Mario Burlesque @ The Gorilla Tango Theatre. Tonight @11pm. These sell out FAST so I recommend you buy these in advance.
Oh-a-no! Mario and Luigi have become so perpetually frustrated by their endless pursuit of the Princess that everything they see has started to look like a beautiful, sexy woman– even their most dangerous enemies!
Nerd City’s Rockspectacular @8PM
Nerd City, the self-proclaimed world’s drunkest nerd journalists are hosting a panel at the convention today from 4:30pm-5:30p. They’ll discuss lots of foolishness, splashed in with some podcasts and err..nerd talk. Tonight they’ll also be hosting a C2E2 kick-off party.
Nerd City hosts the 2011 C2E2 Kickoff Rocktacular at Reggie’s Rock Club, 2109 S. State Street, on Friday, March 18th! Featuring DJ Major Taylor, Chicago’s School of Rock, Valora, Boobs and Goombas (Super Mario Bros. Burlesque), a special appearance by Jeffrey Brown, Live Band Karaoke and more, this is guaranteed to be the Nerd party of the year. With Reggie’s rock bus transporting party goers to and from the convention center, transportation ain’t a problem, so drink, Nerd, and be merry. Sponsored by Threadless, Do312, Chicago Comics, Rotofugi and Top Shelf, look for prizes and surprises galore.
