The GeekMoms and GeekDads at SXSW!

South by Southwest, Austin, Texas March 9th-18th

Join the GeekMoms and GeekDads for “The GeekFamily Guide to the Movies” on Monday, March 12th from 11:00am to 12:00pm in the Austin Convention Center, Room 15. You’ll hear from GeekDad Anton Olsen and GeekMoms Andrea Schwalm, Ruth Suehle and Nicole Wakelin. Here’s the panel description…

If there’s one thing geeks know, it’s movies. But how do you raise your geeky kids to watch the right movies? Join writers from Wired’s GeekDad.com (named one of the top 10 Best Blogs of 2010 by Time Magazine) and GeekMom.com blogs as they discuss the ins and out of parenting, kids and movies. They’ll tackle such difficult questions as: Why is the mother always dead (or die) in Disney movies? How young is too young to watch the Lord of the Rings? Should you let your 8 year old watch the “Chucky” movies? What if he begs really hard? How can you encourage your kids to make their own movies? How do you explain to your kid that they can not convert their mother’s car into a land-speeder?

Come share your stories and get candid advice from fellow Geek Dads and Moms! Don’t have kids? Show up and find out what may be in store for you if you ever do!
