Coldplay+Electronic Wristbands=Most Amazeballs Concert Ever

Video I shot of #Coldplay concert in Chicago, performing "In My Place." 

Complete with awesome electronic wristbands that light up to the music.

And yes, that's me screaming. But look at the wristbands. :)

So, recently i went on a work trip to Chicago, a city which i ADORE. I realized that while i was there, one of my fave bands, Coldplay, was playing at the United Center. It was kismet. i HAD to get tickets.

Now, i've seen Coldplay live probably at least 2 times on each tour (so about 10x total). to say that i'm a superfan would be to understate my excitement for their music and performances. but this concert was different; it contained something i had NOT seen before. and now, concert has forever changed for me going forward: the electronic wristbands. 

New Ridiculous Yet Awesome Product Launch Party+My Hot New Blogger

Hey GeekGirlGang!

I know it's been a while, but i have some super-exciting stuff coming up that is just PERFECT for the GeekGirl blog, so i thought I'd get the machine up and running again!

First off, I'm going to the launch party of a SUPER geeky new product tonight at the famed LA social club, SoHo House, and I want to bring y'all all the info. All I'll tell you about the product is that it is COMPLETELY ridiculous, but so cool and ridiculous that I just had to accept the invite to check out the launch to be one of the first people to try it out! (yes, pics to come). Here are 3 clues if you want to try to guess what it is:

1. it just debuted at ComiCon and involves brain wave technology
2. has been written up by Wired Magazine (geek print heaven) as well as the LA Times
3. it will bring a whole new meaning to LOLcats

Post your guesses below or tweet them at me!

Plus, stay tuned, and I will be live Tweeting tonight from the event! Follow me on Twitter: @GeekGirlKnows.

Secondly, I'm also bringing my brand new, saucy minx of a blogette, Yvonne, who has just joined the Twitterverse...help me welcome her and give her a shout! Here's her handle @Yvonks. I've got big plans for her, as she's going to start posting guest blogs and covering all the geeky, Sci-Fi fun stuff that we both share with each other everyday. Plus, she's HOT. Pics to come from the event tonight!

Lastly, I've decided to try something new, and expand my area of service to you guys, who I am passionate about helping, learning from, and sharing information with! I will be announcing that right here on the GeekGirl blog and my SundayLA blog (it's a joint venture!) this Sunday, so check back then!

Cheers,
GeekGirl (aka Daria and I <3 LA :)

GeekGirl Quickie 3: Travel Gads!

Hey Geek Guys and Gals!

As promised, here is the QUICKIE that I shot right before I left on my trip to Bali, Indonesia. I didn't have time to finish editing & uploading it before I went, so I finished it this week, right when I got back! I talk about some fun gadgets that I call "travel essentials" that complement my high-tech, plugged-in life. Check it out and let me know your thoughts:




I'm working on Episode 7, a topic that I can proudly say was suggested by a GeekGirl blog buddy, and it's going to focus on the ubiquitous iPhone. If you have any gripes about the iPhone, either the previous versions or the latest & greatest, email them to me at geek.girl@earthlink.net. I'd especially love some VIDEO QUESTIONS emailed to me in any format as long as the file size doesn't exceed 7 MB (or, upload your question to YouTube and send me a link!) and I just MIGHT include your video question in the next podcast! (PS-the video question can be about ANYTHING that you think I might be able to answer for you!)

GEEK GIRL'S NEW HAIRCUT, a good cause, and a damn-good hair straightening gadget!

Hey Blog Buddies!

OK, so you know how the subheading on my blog calls me a "not-so-ordinary geek girl?" The reason for that, as I'm sure those of you who know me will already know, is because I'm just as much into fashion, art, shoes, makeup and all of the artsy and not-simply-practical things that you would normally associate with a "geek". We're breaking down stereotypes here at the old Geek Girl Blog. :) LOL.

Anyhow, I JUST got my hair cut short for the first time in years, and, for those of you who are starting think that today's blog would be without any gadgets, think again! I wanted to share my new haircut with you all, as I'm pretty excited about it and still a bit in shock that I chopped off so much, and then I want to share a hair-related gadget with you that I just got that I LOVE--it's a modern marvel of engineering.

OK, here's the hair:

It's actually really dark underneath too, but you can't really see in this picture. You'll see it in the next podcast. Thoughts?? You likee? I think it's sassy and fun...and a change is always nice, especially if you've been in a slump like I have recently. :(

And now on to the gadget part--I asked for one thing and one thing only this year for my birthday, which was two weeks ago. I wanted a damn good hair straightener, like the one the stars use (not to be like them, but because they don't have time for crappy gadgets, and I decided that at 28 I deserved a damn good straightening gadget). So, my wildest dreams were fulfilled, and here you go...I present the GHD Styler:


it may not look like much, but for those of you (boys and girls) who use devices such as this, this one's the bee's knees. Seriously. I wouldn't use that phrase if I weren't serious. :) (For more info on the styler, click HERE. I promise I have no interest in this company promotion wise, nor do I with any of the other products I talk about/review on this blog. They are just gadgets that I use, and I will be honest about them!)

And before I sign off, I just wanted to mention a worthy cause: I was bummed when I cut my hair that it wasn't long enough to donate to Locks of Love, (click on the name to visit their non-profit site), which provides hair pieces to kids suffering from illnesses that cause them to lose their hair. I thought I'd mention the site/cause here, as I feel that it's a very worthy cause, in the hopes that one of you out there might be thinking about cutting your hair too, and if so, perhaps yours is long enough for Locks of Love. If you do decide to do it, feel free to bring along your camera and send me photos/video of your cut and donation and I'll make sure to feature it in my next blog!

Allright Blog Buddies, that's all for now. Stay Tuned for more exciting stuff coming up! Make sure you keep emailing me at geek.girl@earthlink.net with your questions & comments! I love hearing from you all, and no question is silly or too small!
