Tonight I’m off with my cousin to go see an advance screening of the Battlestar Galactica: Razor movie. This raises a serious dilemma… what to wear?
Sadly, I don’t own any actual BSG clothing, so it’s down to the OpenSolaris T-shirt or the Log4Perl T-shirt. The OpenSolaris T-shirt is a cool black number with a snippet of actual Solaris kernel code on the front. But the Log4Perl T-shirt is a limited edition given to me by the actual creator of Log4Perl, who sits several rows over from me. Come to think of it, I could also go with the extremely limited edition Viable Paradise X T-shirt, on the theory that this puts me very near the top of the Geek Hierarchy. But I’m guessing not too many folks will understand what “Viable Paradise” refers to. I mean these are grubby media SF fans, after all.
Man, where are the Queer Eye guys when you really need them?
I demand a movie review.
The VPX shirt definitely outgeeks everything else. That said, you’re right in that pretty much nobody will know you’re outgeeking everyone else, which I think may be the point of these things.
I’m happy wearing Spider-man shirts to things like this. It makes other people HAPPY. Everyone likes Spider-man and people always end up complimenting my taste in clothing. Which, you know, doesn’t happen to me all that often unless I’m wearing Spidey 🙂
I would have only one choice for something like this. That would be my T-shirt with the following on the front:

Although I wear it when I go running, so maybe not.
i heard they gave out tshirts at the screening. is that true?
Nope, no T-shirt giveaway. Or at least if they did, I was dumb enough to have totally missed it.
