I spent the Halloween weekend dressed up as Sagat and pubcrawled Convoy Street.

To all our geek fam and fans out there on the internets…. YOU TOO CAN SOMEDAY CRAWL WANDER CONVOY STREET DRESSED UP AS A STREET FIGHTER OR MORTAL KOMBAT CHARACTER. And big ups to our friends at White Cygnus Media, Nerd Funnel, Min Sok Chon, and that one secret bar on Convoy….which is by Hobby…

Muay Thai brings people together. It may sting a little.

I met Anthony Noceda at last year’s SDAFF when he was a facilities coordinator (I think).  The two of us hit it off when we realized that we had something in common.  Muay Thai.  While I started learning Muay Thai purely out of interest in the martial art, Anthony’s actually had some real ringtime.  Check…

Bullying sucks. Stop it. Seriously.

Here at Strawberry Scented Burnout, my message to my fans is clear.  Stand up for yourself and raise your geek flag loud and proud.  That’s somethin’ I’ve learned through my 29 years of living on God’s green earth.  But…I know that it’s never an easy thing.  And high school can be a pretty daunting battlefield….

[Hood Eats] “Golden House”

Negatron and myself are doing a new feature on SSB.  Hood eats.  Simply put, we’re lookin’ for good cheap food that probably flies under the radar on Yelp.  We’re focusing our search on establishments “South of the 54”.  The criteria that I’m using to judge them is considerably different from Justin’s.  I’m looking for taste,…

Creepity Creep Creep

Howdy patnahs, I’m Ericka. Mr Twitchy decided to turn my everyday disasters into a new column. I get this a lot “What happened this time, lil sis?”–YES. I’m the “Normal Geek Girl” though I don’t feel worthy of the honor of that title. I’ve evolved from an outwardly looking geek to an inner geek, and…

2 years ago….

Two years ago I bid farewell to Mitchell International, a company where I served as a car parts  technical editor for 3 years.  The job went well, but hey, shit happens and I moved on.  I wound up going to Coleman University and I graduated this past year on my birthday.  During those two years,…

If I ever get too cool….

I was talking to one of my old friends earlier today, and somehow, the subject drifted to me being too cool. Me: Still, if i ever get to that point Mango, I want you to punch me. Mango: Ok I promise you. I’ll sock you in the face if that happens. Yep.  Even if SSB…

Stuntman!? Where!?

Check out this action reel of Jabronie Pictures’ own Fernando Jay Huerto.  Yes, he’s one of our partners at Team Mixed Nuts.  He’s pretty legit.  He even fights one of our newest members!
