Geek Love

After seeing the Michael Showalter and Michael Ian Black comedy show last weekend at Higher Ground (you might remember Showalter and Black from The State on MTV or from Wet Hot American Summer), a straight, single gal pal of mine commented on the bevy of hot, seemingly single male geeks in attendance. You know what I mean when I say geek, right? I'm talking about the Lloyd Doblers of the world — the guys in high school who didn't play sports, didn't wear stylish clothes, played Dungeons and Dragons and never, ever got the girl (ok, Lloyd Dobler did — but he's John Cusack).

To all you single, straight women reading my blog, I've got a news flash for you: These are the men you want. They're all grown up now and smarter than the average single Neanderthal — plus, their disheveled look and horn-rimmed glasses are totally en vogue. Think about it, while all the jocks in high school spent their time trying to impress their buddies by ignoring you, the geeks were home — day after day, night after night — thinking about what they would do to you if just given the chance. They worshipped you, they jerked off to you — and now, they can be yours. You just have to know where to look. . .

Which brings me to my point: It's Geek Week in Montpelier! An 80's cover band, a mathematics challenge, Magic and all the hottest geeky gods and goddesses in Vermont. For more info, check out the latest vlog over at Stuck In Vermont. Go Eva!

If you can't make it to Montpelier this week, you can find eligible geeks in many other locations. They're buying vinyl at the indie music store and working at your friendly local Mac store — what are you waiting for? Just tell 'em Mistress Maeve sent you. . .
