Jude Law and Forrest Whitaker star in the futuristic Sci-Fi thriller, “Repo Men”. A large corporation called, The Union, sells mechanical body organs to needy patients at a HUGE mark-up. Once a patient defaults on payment, well the Repo Men come to collect…the organ. This film appears to be gritty, gory, and possibly mixed with a little black comedy. The film opens in theaters this April. However, Geekstar has free passes for a premiere on Tuesday, March 19 at the Pittsburgh Mills. Email sarah {at} geekstar.com if interested.

I just arrived back in Pittsburgh where I was greeted by way too much snow! Here are a few of my favorite photos from last week’s vacation getaway where I fortunately missed round 1 of the blizzard.

Every so often I pull my web statistics and post all of the amazing and fantastic search phrases people have “googled” that resulted with finding geekstar.com. I find them utterly amusing and surprising every time and by posting them for your enjoyment, I will continue to grow my “eclectic reader base”! (fellow geeks that understand SEO – search engine optomization – get what I’m sayin’…)
Here we go again!

Cavalier Rose is a Brooklyn based rock band that finds itself somewhere between old American tradition and uncharted depths of the future. The band formed during the winter of 2009. After getting together a handful of times at each others’ apartments to exchange musical ideas, the group gathered for their first full band rehearsal in late February. As it was immediately apparent that this collaboration was yielding prolific musical creation, a recording session and gig were scheduled.
In early October, the band spent 3 hours in a Brooklyn studio, where they tracked two demos. “Lie To Me” and “Painted Bird” were recorded completely live, in 1 and 3 takes, respectively.
In these very early stages of Cavalier Rose’s existence, they have merely begun to scratch the surface of their musical potential. They are working perpetually on a wealth of new material and shaping their sound. See them this Wednesday night at Howler’s!
