Weekaned NYC: Live Sci-Fi, The McFadden Code, and An Unexpected Return

Friday, March 14
This sci-fi stage show promises an exciting blend of stage combat, puppetry, and multi-media as the last human female in the universe has to blast through alien forces to find the last human male. Billed as "Star Wars meets Lara Croft," but I bet it's better than that.

Leprechaun hunts and sketchy amusement parks after the jump...

Ravenchase Adventures sets up elaborate Da Vinci Code-like quests around the world, and they're coming to New York to set you and your buds on the trail of some Leprechaun Gold. If the experience is as complex as their website would make you believe, $35 doesn't seem like too much to pay. We all remember what happened last time there was some Irish gold to be had here in the States...

Sunday, March 16
And they said it would be gone in 2008! Where else would Marvel's villains build secret lairs and hold hostages if the crazy time-warp amusement park were decommissioned? Come down for the (no rly this time) last season of Astroland as we know it. The day begins with Miss Cyclone 2008 smashing a bottle of chocolate egg cream on the front car of the Cyclone. The first 100 in line for the rickety old coaster ride for free!

"Star Wars meets Lara Croft"? How could Lara Croft, an individual human being, "meet" a series of films and television specials? It just doesn't make sense.

Well, to be fair the full quote was "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider," which is indeed the name of the game/movie.

You guys *ARE* good. I was going to mention this show to you guys, but, hey, you've already written it up.

Hey Aaron - thanks for at least thinking to tip us about Fight Girl, although yes, we at Geekanerd are incredibly on top of things. I haven't actually seen it yet, though. The reviews on your site make me think I should, although I violently disagree with you about Adding Machine.
