-- Q: can we have some groovy sponsors?

A: yes, we can. The nice geeks at backspace (the downtown confluence of various geek culture backspace.bz) are excited about GEEK PROM and want to help somehow, of course they need to know how. They are very proud of their geekness and said they have wanted to help us out for sometime now.

I talked to both owners Kris and Eric last friday of Feb. while critical mass was getting ticked.

ps Clout is always wearing their shirt so he could might want to be invloved.
