A The Warehouse no stopping it, rip open on Monday, with a Geek Pride Festival.
makers of beer glasses and ask ourselves, what is the pride geek? For the Geek Pride Day is a grassroots initiative that tries to claim the right to be Geek of anyone who wants it.
This day is celebrated on May 25 and is since 2006, commemorating the official release of Star Wars-A New Hope. In addition, this date coincides with the Day of the towel.
all started when, in an internet forum dedicated to Marvel, a user calling himself "The Lord Bueb" discussed the fact that any geek may or may not be called so, and the desire and right of geeks and "activities" considered geeks, like reading comics or playing a role, be recognized by society and not neglected. Thus, with the creation of this day, wish to demonstrate that geeks are a minority group.
Similarly, a group of geeks created a freak show, to celebrate this day. However, the geek show, but no conclusion was criticized by many people who consider themselves geeks, since some points created in this show, made the day is not taken very seriously mainly by some media, and because they considered not fully represent all the people who consider themselves geeks. To correct these errors, then made some modifications to the manifest, but still not all geeks accept the manifesto as being representative of this group. This already indicates that it is still autoofensivo and / or transferring to discrimination rather than to respect those who are considered within this group, and does nothing to end the stereotype wrong for geeks.
the first day of commemoration was held in Spain and the internet, after several media such as newspapers El Pais and El Mundo to publicize the initiative, although the peak was in Madrid's Plaza Callao (Location where recorded one of the most important scenes from the movie "The Day of the Beast" Álex de la Iglesia) where a group of costumed geeks gathered to celebrate their day, and singing and Human Pac-Man . Geek environment in the capital continued to increase until the memorial party held that night at a downtown local, driven by a portal leisure. Participants attended Pac-Man, newly recruited geeks crowd of onlookers. Telecinco covered the event with a live connection to the second edition.
