This weekend was the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo (you know, the other C2E2) here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I gave a talk on how authenticity and legitimacy are performed and evaluated in geek cultures and was pleasantly surprised to have a full room of easily eighty people in attendance. Thanks again to everyone who came out to see me, including several graduate students working on nerd (sub)cultures and identity.
