Whether you’re single or coupled, if you’re looking for a lively and fun Valentine’s Day plan, PGC member Dangerous Kids has you covered: they’ll be presenting “Romancing The Nerds,” a show featuring artists who are focused on all things comics, video games and science fiction.

From their press release:

Headlining the show will be Adam WarRock, making his first stop on a short west-coast tour. A nationally-recognized comics and pop culture hip-hop artist, WarRock’s press kit is riddled with glowing reviews from outlets like the BBC and Wired, as well as celebrity endorsements including Nathan Fillion (Castle, Firefly), Edgar Wright (Scott Pilgrim, Sean of the Dead) and Marvel author Matt Fraction.

Also joining WarRock on stage will be a new local duo “Michotomy.” Comprised of Portland emcees, Kiew Nikon (Kinetic Emcees & Analog Brothers) & Pwn Toney (Kielen King/Star Pilot’s Revenge), Michotomy will be joined on stage by their friend and local comic shop manager Sean Wynn (aka Badd Wolfe).

Opening the show will be “Bad Habitat,” the local, fan-voted winners of “Jammin” 107.5 fm’s “Open For Snoop Dogg” Contest. Bad Habitat has also opened for Slick Rick, Rahzel, Bizzy Bone, Digital Underground and many more well known acts. They recently released their first full-length album “Scissor Tree” and are already working to produce their next release.

The team at Dangerous Kids is the geeky glue bringing this show together, and their own DJ Switch will be spinning throughout the evening, as well as DJ SugarPDX. For more information, go to www.dangerouskids.net, or get the latest on Dangerous Kids Facebook.

This Sunday, The Doubleclicks are combining powers with Molly Lewis, whom you may remember from the Internet, to make geeky music in a casual, outdoor show that’s just the thing for summer! From their web site:

Molly Lewis – from YouTube! And Seattle! Will bring down her shiny ukulele and serenade the courtyard outside Bridge City Comics with her songs about history, the Internet, and having Stephen Fry’s babies.

The Doubleclicks, who are local and also geeky, will be there too.

Bring a folding chair if you don’t want to sit on the ground.
It’s going to be great!

These lovely ladies will also be taking their show on the road in September, on a tour of the Eastern half of the U.S., so catch them here in Portland before they take off for distant lands! Get the details on this and their other upcoming shows on their web site, or RSVP on Facebook for the courtyard performance.

Just a few months ago, local geek event curator Kenna Conklin of GeekPortland threw a mighty bash for all the geeks of our fair city, celebrating GeekPortland’s birthday with music, trivia, and good times for all. The GeekPortland GeekParty was so enjoyed by all that she went to work planning a second party–and it lands this Saturday! This time around, the GeekParty will be featuring the talents of Seattle-based nerd rock band Kirby Krackle and local darlings The Doubleclicks, as well as their own brand of trivia in the GeekPortland GameShow!

Because we at PGC3 are full of questions, Kenna was kind enough to take a few minutes and tell us more about what went into making the GeekParty happen:

It’s not every day that someone throws a big, nerdy shindig for every geek in town–how was your experience planning the first GeekParty?

The first GeekParty was something that was put in my lap! The Doubleclicks approached me about working with them on a show they had already scheduled with the Broadsides. I jumped at the opportunity and created the GeekPortland GameShow and turned on the hype machine! The night turned out to be a wonderful example of how much fun Portland Geeks can have when they get together. People we already asking when the next one would be that night.

I know you’ve been wanting to bring Kirby Krackle to Portland for quite a while–can you tell us a bit more about that?

I first discovered Kirby Krackle about three years ago after hearing their hit single Ring Capacity. It was such an earworm that I had to have more! Since then, I’ve been trying to spread the word on what a great nerdrock band we have living just up the freeway. It wasn’t until this year that they finally played Portland and I wanted to get them back AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! I’m delighted that they are joining us!

You’ve been bold enough to take on the task of putting on your own trivia segment at the GeekParty–what challenges are there with putting that together?

Writing trivia is HARD! Luckily, I have a Gamemaster, Rich Malena, helping me out. We’ve been writing a lot and culling a lot – trying to get that balance between challenging and fun. We’ve looked into all corners of geekdom for categories and questions. I hope that people will be amused with what we’ve come up with. I definitely have some favorites that I hope get picked!

This party is definitely not to be missed, and tickets are only available at the door! Be sure to arrive early, so you can throw your hat in the ring for the GameShow and potentially win fabulous prizes from local geek businesses. You can learn more about the event on GeekPortland, or join the crowd on Facebook.

And, don’t forget to bring some canned food–car2go Portland, will also be there collecting food donations for the Oregon Food Bank! In exchange for your donation, car2go will waive new member fees, or offer bonus drive time to current members.
