Kristen Rutherford is playing the part of Jeanne in the English dub of the French animated film A Cat In Paris and gearing up to write another round of Nerdist specials for BBCA. Here, we define “gearing up” as “thinking about cool, nerdy things to do and see in London.” Isn’t there some sporting event happening there soon?

Marziah was on the Computer America radio show on Wednesday. You can catch the podcast online.

Melissa Wiley spent the week geeking out over a Jane Austen connection in her current garden-lit reading binge–and delighting in introducing Brambly Hedge to her just-turned-six-year-old.

Rebecca Angel is still sick from PAX, just barely managing to sing a few songs at last week’s GeekFest. She is adamant about getting well because on the 26th is her birthday. Yes, it is an official GeekMom High Holy Day. All Birthday wishes should come wrapped in Get Well wishes. Thank you.

Dakster Sullivan will be at Walt Disney World on Friday to celebrate her 27th birthday. Saturday, she will be helping her husband at his first official 501st legion troop at Acme Comics in Longwood, FL! Her son Brandon is already looking forward to the milkshake he gets after every successful troop.

Corrina has just returned from a whirlwind trip of Chicago and would love to recommend Yolk on Michigan Avenue to anyone in that area. Truly wonderful. Also Red Velvet French Toast.
