##Coming up:

### Fantastic Fest – Sept 20

Fantastic Fest, the Alamo Drafthouse’s festival of fantasy, horror and sci-fi films, teams with dorkbot to celebrate Austin’s electric oddities.  We’re programming Fantastic Fest’s opening night party on Thursday, September 20, 10 pm.  Filmmakers, freaks, oddballs, gorehounds, sci-fi nerds, fantasy freaks and cineasts of all flavors convene on Austin from around the country for this badass festival.  dorkbot is proud to inaugurate this year’s fest with a parade of fire, sparks and digital daring. 

In the words of Tim League, the Alamo’s co-owner and Fantastic Fest instigator:

 ”We are also proud to announce that the opening night party will feature an electronic onslaught by Dorkbot Austin. This town is a hotbed for the crossover intersection of creativity and electronics/engineering professionals. What that means for us is a chance to sip cocktails while cheering on the loud, crazed and potentially dangerous robotic shenanigans of Austin’s nerdcore elite. Tesla coil in attendance, no pacemakers allowed.”

NOTE: This special dorkbot event, which will include booze, food and all sorts of goodies, is only available to Fantastic Fest ticket holders or dorkbot presenters (send email to dorkbotaustin@dorkbot.org if you’d like to bring something).  Tickets are still available (http://www.fantasticfest.com/tickets.aspx).
