Comic Geeks "Kickstarts" Their First Episode‏

Support your fellow geeks! Comic Geeks releases new 30 minute pilot entitled Nerds of a Feather and run over to kickstarter to help support the funding for the rest of the series.

Comic Geeks is a St. Louis based web series about a group of comic book obsessed friends who struggle to balance adult life with their four-colored passion. It follows four friends who feel burdened by the inescapable responsibilities of adulthood but balance their lives by obsessing over the minutia of comic books and pop culture. Comic Geeks is about growing up and growing old… Comic Geeks is about being yourself.

The 30 minute pilot “Nerds of a Feather” is now online and they are hoping geeks flock to their Kickstarter campaign which is underway. The $25,000 goal will be used to finish their first season of 12 episodes which run 5-15 minutes and combine live action with animation. Those familiar with Kickstarter know that if they don’t reach their target amount, they won’t see any of the money raised. With a variety of cool and geeky tangible prizes available depending on your level of backing, they are on their way with 27 backers and growing. If they make their goal, it appears that creator Brian Spath will be a busy man telepathically high-fiving, performing feats of physical endurance and stocking up on Winterfresh gum (read the complete list of pledge prizes to see everything he’ll be up to).

A CALOP grant allowed the Geeks to shoot their pilot which was featured in March on HEC-TV along with a Q&A with producer and actor Spath. Fans can gather to watch the first episode and meet various cast and crew at comic conventions across the country. They have already screened at several cons, including Wizard World St. Louis and Emerald City in Seattle, with dates for Florida, Tennessee, Colorado and Arizona coming up. During their quest to finish 12 episodes, the 9 cast members have dealt with full time jobs, family matters, shoots at multiple locations, complicated schedules and of course their continued pursuit of the ultimate comic book collection while working towards their season wrapping up in August.

The series is filmed in St. Louis with primary locations in The Delmar Loop (Vintage Vinyl, Tivoli Theatre, Star Clipper), South City (Urban Eats) and Grand Center (Arts & Education Council building) areas.

Buffet Bliss or Southern Swing-and-a-Miss? A Bite at Kacey’s in Huntsville

  Walk through the doors of Kacey’s Country Cooking in Huntsville and you’re greeted by the comforting smell of fried chicken, collard greens, and cornbread that could double as perfume for any true Southerner. This is where the buffet line reigns supreme, the sweet tea flows endlessly, and dessert is always just an arm’s reach away. For many locals, Kacey’s is a comfort food paradise. Fans brag about the fried green tomatoes, juicy pork chops, slow-cooked beef tips, and banana pudding that deserves its own holiday. The staff are another highlight—quick with refills, friendly enough to feel like family, and the kind of people who can make a buffet feel like Sunday dinner at grandma’s. But Kacey’s has its critics too. Some diners rave about “the best bang for your buck in town,” while others complain that the food sometimes veers into “straight-from-the-can” territory. Like most buffets, it’s a roll of the dice: hit the line on a good day and you’ll be full and happy; catch it on an...

Tucked along Main Street, this little diner doesn’t just serve food—it serves nostalgia. Walking in, you’re greeted with that small-town charm you just can’t fake.
