Geekend 2009

I wasn't expecting much when I heard about Savannah's first annual Geekend 2009. Granted, I work for the oldest online marketing and web development company in Savannah -- Systems Connect, Inc -- and I am pretty geeky myself, but I wasn't looking forward to boring lectures about Google algorhythems, Graphic Design techniques and people making more money than me off of social networking and blogging techniques.

Buccaneer's Ball at Pirate Fest

The kick-off party to the 2009 Tybee Island Pirate Festival was filled with everything a good pirate loves -- roasted pig, fresh seafood, sexy wenches, plenty of grog and...sparklers?

The Buccaneer's Ball took place at The Crab Shack on Tybee Island. A fitting setting for any self respecting pillager. There was music, the 2009 pirate king and queen were announced and a costume contest.

Let's see what else Pirate Fest 2009 has in store. I'll be there, will you?

When Dannet from Salon Jolie told me about the art show that was going to take place Satureday, September 19, 2009 over at the salon she was very excited and so was I for that matter. It was to be Eric Frazier, a local artist who apparently had a lot to offer. So, I agreed to cover the event.
