The GeekFest event is a fund-raiser for Seattle Browncoats Charities. From their website:
Seattle Browncoats Charities runs fund-raisers for other worthy nonprofits that are too small to do it themselves. We focus on those that protect nature, promote equality, fight violence, and foster education and health in our communities.Seattle Browncoats Charities is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, all-volunteer organization inspired by the work of Joss Whedon to support local, national, and international charities that promote equality, fight violence, protect nature, and encourage health and education. The organization will raise money and make other appropriate donations to charities and nonprofits by promoting fan participation in social and other activities.
The Seattle Browncoats are nerds-doing-good, which is a cause we heartily support. I hope you enjoy the show! And I hope you discover a band you like and go buy all their music!OTHER DETAILS: The concert will probably go in this order:Â Eben Brooks, Kirby Krackle, Seanan McGuire, Doubleclicks, Vixy & Tony - with each of those musical acts playing for about an hour.
