When geeks throw the party: Philly style

Last night at the Troc, two of my favorite Philly websites, Geekadelphia and Cinedork, hosted an epicly epic screening of Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World.  Hands down, this was my favorite film of 2010, and I was thrilled to get to see it on the big screen again.

And while I didn’t break out my Envy Adams costume, a large handful of people did don their best Ramona/Scott/Kim Pine/Gideon/etc. duds and won a wide array of awesome Scott Pilgrim stuff for their efforts.  My personal favorite was the Stephen Stills who even brought his guitar.  He’s the talent, after all.

Today, Twitter was all abuzz with how much fun we all had.  Even director Edgar Wright had a kind word for us geeks and our efforts:

I might miss all my best geeks in Atlanta, but take it from me: Philly can throw the geek party right.
