Well, another year, another amazing Halloween party with Indy Hall and Tattooed Mom.

Gotta give a huge thank you to Alex Hillman and the Indy Hall crew, Whipped Bakeshop for the amazing mustache cookies, NextFab Studios for the fabulous trophy and Rob from Tattooed Mom for hosting us and making our annual Geekadelphia / Indy Hall Halloween celebration such a success.

While we could only dish out two prizes at the ceremony, one for best mustache and one for ‘best interpretation of theme’ (nice job Kelani), we’ve got some fun unofficial online winners listed below after the jump. Also, a slideshow!

On Tuesday, November 8th, TEDxPhilly returns to discuss The City. The event’s second year brings together over 25 speakers to share the challenges, innovations, concepts, and realities faced by cities and their inhabitants. The speakers include architects, educators, community leaders, urban planners, business visionaries, journalists, and filmmakers from Philadelphia.

The event will be held at the Temple Performing Arts Center. Attendees will hear from Geekadelphia favorites Marisa McClellan, Jennifer Pahlk, and Inga Saffron as well as other notable Philadelphians.

TED began in 1984 with the purpose of bringing together people from Technology, Entertainment, and Design during one-day multi-disciplinary conferences. Since then, a database of knowledge and inspiration has been compiled and placed online. At last count, there were more than 900 TEDTalks given at the annual and local conferences available.

Confession time: how many of you have suffered through bleary-eyed mornings because you kept telling yourself I’ll just watch one more TED talk? Don’t worry. We’ve all been there.

Tickets are on sale now and available for purchase at tedxphilly.com. Admission is $100 and includes an entire day of presentations, lunch, refreshments, and a post-event reception. You can also apply for one of a limited number of scholarships on their website.

This week I review the first issue of Marvel’s Wolverine and the X-Men, the finale of Zenescope’s summer event The Dream Eater Saga and the second issue of Aquaman. All in this week’s Comic Roundup!

Wolverine and the X-Men #1
By Jason Aaron and Chris Bachalo

Wasting no time after the end of an era “final” issue of Uncanny X-Men last week, this week sees the release of the new mutant flagship book, Wolverine and the X-Men. While I won’t be buying the new Uncanny X-men series out of principle, this new title’s premise piqued my interest enough to get me to buy the first issue. After reading it, I might be buying it for awhile longer. (more…)
