Happy Geek Pride Day!


Fly the geek flag loud and proud today, it's Geek Pride Day - May 25th is a special day dedicated to those of us who do not (and should not) feel ashamed about showing off our geeky and nerdy passions!


Chosen to celebrate the release date of the original 'Star Wars' movie, which was released to the world on May 25 1977 (and also happens to be the date that 'Return Of The Jedi' premiered in 1983), Geek Pride Day also shares this special day with Towel Day, for fans of 'The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy' series by Douglas Adams, and the Glorious 25th of May for fans of Terry Pratchett's 'Discworld'.

So today, on this special day, no matter whether you're a pop culture geek, a book nerd, a gamer geek or whatever, celebrate and declare your pride at being geek!

As a purveyor of pop culture geekery myself, mostly Sci-Fi and Fantasy, I have quite a lot of things that I nerd out to so, and in no particular order, here a few of them with an example of each.

May 25th - Happy Geek Pride Day!

Fly the geek flag loud and proud today, it's Geek Pride Day - a special day dedicated to those of us who do not (and should not) feel ashamed about showing off our geeky and nerdy passions!

Chosen to celebrate George Lucas' 'Star Wars', which was released to the world on May 25th 1977 (and also happens to be the date that 'Return Of The Jedi' premiered in 1983), Geek Pride Day also shares this special day with Towel Day, for fans of 'The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy' series by Douglas Adams, and the Glorious 25 May for fans of Terry Pratchett's 'Discworld'.

The first Geek Festival was organised in Albany, New York around 1998-2000 by Tim McEachern, but it was first celebrated in Spain as "Orgullo Friki" in 2006 and has spiralled all over the world thanks to the internet.

So today, on this special day, no matter whether you're a pop culture geek, a science nerd, a gamer geek or whatever, celebrate and declare your pride at being geek!
