A collection of photos from Geekout 2013 in Asheville, NC.

I was recently asked to participate as one of the official photographers for this years reoccurring Geekout held this year at the Sherill Center at UNC Asheville, NC, from May 3 to (yes, that;s right), May the 4th–be with you!

For the less informed, MULTIVERSE is Western NC’s premiere experience for geek culture, including gaming, comics, film, television, costuming, convention-life, and collecting–A year-round convention, one event at a time!

Now, although much of the event was family friendly (Darth Vadar having his photo taken with 5 year old kids being nevertheless disconcerting), let us just say that Geeks have a bit of a wild streak, too.

Multiverse Geekout 2013  included the Asheville branch of Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School– a radical mix of traditional life drawing and saucy cabaret. Adults only, needless to say! Prizes for best drawings. May 4, 2013 at the Sherrill Center, UNCA.

Geektastic: A Burlesque Revue was the evening pre-party event for Multiverse Geekout on May 3 at the Boiler Room located in the basement of the Grove House in Asheville, NC. Music from The Extraordinary Contraptions kicked off the evening festivities!

Henry the Horse did not dance a waltz, but to quote Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, “a pleasant time is guaranteed for all”!
