#22: Live from CAFFE FRASCATI

Keeping It Nerd rocked the house during Silicon Valley Comic Con at Caffe Frascati on April 7, 2018.

Our heroes, Vince (@vmostajo09), with help from Anthony (@murseant), hosted the all-star panel this past weekend in a little cafe down the street from the San Jose Convention Center.

Our panelists included artist and actress Lauren Garcia (@lasandrei), filmmaker and podcaster Ray Hom (@rayhomdotcom), comic artist Glen Canlas (@glencanlas), and personal trainer and cosplayer Saul Cervantes (@spideyfit). They each brought their awesome energy and their intelligent insights on all things pop culture and geek related.

They all go into depth about what they like in the pop and geek culture, why we will always see the 80s style in modern times, and what superpowers each of the panelists have. We were also treated to a dramatic reading of everyone’s least favorite Marvel Netflix series, ‘Iron Fist.’

Special Thanks:

Keeping It Nerd #6: SVCC 2017 with Vince and Reyna

Our heroes enter the ancient city of San Jose, California for Silicon Valley Comic-Con.

On this episode minus Anthony (for the actual Comic Con), Vince (@vmostajo09) and Reyna (@reynax81) discuss why the Bay Area doesn’t need WonderCon, the amount of merchandise that one can find at one of these conventions, and Instagram cosplayer stalking. And the heroes encounter one of the Guardians of the Galaxy and a Rick and Morty Szechuan Sauce (@edwinfabian).

The adventurers also make a Booker T reference (sorta).

Special thanks to Reyna for filling in this episode, shout out to MK2 for the song “Drive Away” at the beginning of the episode, and Evan King for the official theme of KIN, “Alpha Channels”.
