Written by John Edward BetancourtIt's a proud time to be a geek in the state of Colorado, and I have to admit, I'm beaming with pride over how far geek culture has come in this state. Just a few years ago, there were but a handful of geeky conventions and events and the arrival of Denver Comic Con quickly changed all of that. Suddenly new events and meet-ups with nerdy themes were popping up everywhere you looked, all in honor of DCC and it's mission to promote literacy by making pop culture part of our everyday lives and well...their push has been a success and it has led to one particular annual tradition that I thoroughly enjoy attending every single year, the Symphonic Tribute to Comic Con. For those unfamiliar with this event, once a year the Colorado Symphony puts on the ultimate pop culture show, bringing to life some of our favorite soundtracks in one incredible show that truly reaches us on a personal level. Over the years we've heard John Williams' iconic scores played live at this show, or we've traveled the universe with the Doctor in the TARDIS, or flown aboard the Enterprise, because these musical notes have great meaning for all of us, we hum them in our daily lives, we think of them on the drive to and from work because music and movies and shows are an incredible thing and what makes this event so incredibly special is the sheer fact that you are amongst friends and extended family since all of us share in the wonder of these dulcet tones together...and geek out in between as well, because the folks behind the scenes at the Symphony understand just how much these moments matter to us, because they're fans as well. It's that level of passion, that makes this an incredibly unique event, one where cosplay or your favorite nerd shirt are an acceptable formal dress code to further immerse you in a special experience and we here at Nerds That Geek simply cannot wait to attend this year's; A Symphonic Tribute to Comic Con: The Tetralogy and the time has come to give you all the details on this incredible show. Now first and foremost, the bad news is...the musical line up has yet to be announced, but stay tuned because the Symphony should be finalizing the schedule over the next few weeks. But the good news is, we are proud to announce to all of you...that this event has grown in size and demand to the point where the Symphony will be putting together TWO performances of this outstanding show. Yes, you read that right. You now have your choice of attending either (or both) the March 24th, or March 25th show (both at 7:30pm) to bask in nerdy glory and as an added bonus, the Symphony was nice enough to provide all of us nerds and geeks out there with a discount code* because we're freakin' awesome!
