REMINDER: The TR NYC Meet-up Is Tomorrow from 6-10pm!
 |
?HEY. YOU. I just wanted to take a minute to remind you that if you’re in the New York City area in general or the Brooklyn area in specific tomorrow evening, the first ever New York City Topless Robot Meet-Up will be held from 6-10pm at The Way Station, at
683 Washington Avenue in Brooklyn. Yes, I’m still aware that Brooklyn is a pain for Manhattanites and many others, but the bathroom is a goddamn TARDIS, so I don’t really have any choice in the matter. I’ll be wearing a Topless Robot t-shirt (not the normal one I give out, I have a special one, because I’m fucking special) so I should be easy to spot. It might be worth checking my Twitter periodically tomorrow, in case something happens (FYI Chris Cummins will helm the site tomorrow while I visit some folks during the day). All right, you’ve been notified. Hope to see at least a few of your there!
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.
