The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
Come commune with your inner fantasy fan, or gaming geek, with journalist and pop culture maven Ethan Gilsdorf, author of the travel memoir/pop culture narrative Fantasy Freaks and Gaming Geeks: An Epic Quest for Reality Among Role Players, Online Gamers, and Other Dwellers of Imaginary Realms (Globe Pequot). This exploration and celebration of fantasy and gaming subcultures begins in his own geeky teenage past and ends in our online gaming future as he asks game-players and fantasy fans—old, young, male, female, able-bodied, disabled—what attracts them to fantasy worlds. We'll start with a 'geek trivia contest'—with prizes—to test the audience's knowledge of things Tolkien, Harry Potter, D&D, and more. Prizes will also be given to anyone arriving in costume as their favorite fantasy character/creature. "Gilsdorf is an engaging and personable guide. Like many who will pick up his book, he's got one foot squarely in the real world, the other in the fantasy one. This is a journey well worth taking." - Booklist.
