Reminder: The Topless Robot DC Meet-Up Is This Friday
Just a reminder — I will be holding the official Topless Robot D.C. Meet-Up/Drink-Up on Friday, April 22nd from 6-9pm EST (minimum). If you are in the DC area and have plans on Friday, skip them, and come buy me a beer instead. It’ll be held at the Black Rooster Pub on L Street NW
(between 19th and 20th) and if you don’t come I will cry (because I’ve been forced to buy my own beer).
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
