MEDIA ADVISORY
Ottawa – On
February 2nd 2014, locally-initiated group Capital Geek Girls is
officially launching its online blogazine with a kick-off party hosted by
FutureShop Merivale. Videogames played on the big screen TVs after hours will
be the main activity, and guests can meet the editor, authors, and other
Capital Geek Girls supporters.
CapitalGeekGirls.com is a fanclub that works to further the
inclusion of girls and women in geeky pursuits (eg videogames, comic books,
sci-fi, fantasy, Magic the Gathering, boardgaming, etc). CGG began after
numerous reports of harassment, bullying, and exclusion of women in the geek
world. The club began one year ago, run entirely via its Facebook page, by
local author and geek Jordan Danger. The group grew quickly in popularity and
will now offer its own online blog/magazine (blogazine). The launch party,
hosted by FutureShop on Merivale road, kicks off the blogazine’s inception.
WHEN: Sunday Feb 2nd,
2014 6pm-9pm
Welcome address at 7pm by Jordan Danger,
Editor of CapitalGeekGirls.com
WHERE: FutureShop, 1695 Merivale Rd, Ottawa
WHAT: Free launch party with after hours videogaming on the
