This Week In Geekery – July 28th to August 3rd
For everyone suffering a geekery hangover from San Diego Comic-Con (in person or like the rest of us following madly on social media) this week has a few events, and a little movie with an awesome soundtrack is coming out. So I’ll see most of you at Guardians of the Galaxy!
It’s also the last Wednesday of the Spent Pencils’ comic studio artists at the Silver Snail to celebrate July Well Spent!
