Nerd Events Now Covered by Satellite Radio

Sirius Satellite Radio announces coverage of the upcoming Star Wars nerd fest known as Star Wars Celebration V.

A pretty cool idea really and one that could definitely be applied to coverage of panels and interviews for a more interesting fan event such as The San Diego Comic-con. Let's hope the staff at Comic-con International take notice of this idea. You could be sitting at home or walking the floor of the event and listening to the next big Hollywood panel in Hall H while it was happening.

Here are the offcial details for Sirius' plans for SWC5:


STAR WARS CELEBRATION RADIO
It’s four days of everything Star Wars™. This special limited-run channel takes over SIRIUS XM Stars Too from August 12-15, broadcasting from the official Lucasfilm convention.

The limited-run channel will feature interviews with stars from the Star Wars movies, as well as behind-the-scenes talent and celebrity fans. And that’s not to mention the droid races, costume pageants and more.

Star Wars Celebration Radio is hosted by Raw Dog Comedy’s Mark Says Hi and Cinemagic’s Dave Ziemer. Tune in from Thursday, August 12 through Sunday, August 15.

San Diego Comic-con 2009- The Costumes.

A few of the nerds in cosplay around the show. While there were plenty of costumes to be seen on the floor of the event, there were noticeably less of them compared to last year. Especially in the first couple of days of the show. I also recognized many of the same geeks in the same outfits worn last year walking around.

Look...if you are a gal that wants to show up at this event every year as a Princess Leia in her metal bikini from 'Return of the Jedi', it's not cool, you are screaming to the world that you have serious issues. And what's the deal with all the Pirates walking around every day? There are more pirates than Stormtroopers now roaming the con. Deadpool costumes were everywhere this year. By far, he was the number one choice of super-wannabe costumes for the geeks.

San Diego Comic-con 2009- The Crowds.

The San Diego convention center is packed with all walks of humanity both in and around it nearly 24 hours a day for five straight days. If you don't like crowds or waiting in lines, brother this con ain't for you.

Here's some examples, photos we took during the course of the event this year.
