CHASE MASTERSON HOSTS THE SEXIEST GEEK ALIVE CONTEST AS FEATURED ON
GOODMORNING AMERICA, CNN AND WIRED.COM
(AUSTIN, TX) Every year People Magazine puts the smiling face of some
movie star on their front cover for the "Sexiest Man Alive" issue.
Bestowing such an honor on celebrities ignores the fact the Geeks have
now inherited the earth. For example, note that AOL just bought Time
Warner-not the other way around.
Geek & Guru, the infotainment multimedia show on AOL-Time Warner's Road
Runner, wishes to correct People's egregious error by hosting the first
annual "Sexiest Geek Alive Contest," on March 14th, the final night of
the South By Southwest (SXSW) Interactive Conference in Austin, Tx. For
more info, go to Geekandguru.com.
Sci-fi siren Chase Masterson, who has starred on "Star Trek: Deep Space
Nine" for the past five years, (see ChaseMasterson.com) will be emceeing
the event.
On top of that, "The Sexiest Geek Alive" Contest is being sponsored by
the Texas Bikini Team, who will escort the finalists on and offstage.
"Like it or not, this is Bill Gates' world-we just live in it," says
Scott Rehling, 31, Channel Partner Manager for Exodus Communications.
Rehling is a member of two prominent Austin bands-Dysfunkshun Junkshun
and Curiously Strong. Rehling joined the contest early and hopes that
his musical talent will give him a competitive edge on his geeky
brethren.
Sorry Scott, unless you can hum in Linux, you have just a good as shot
as every other geek.
Twelve finalists have been selected. Photos, video interviews and bios
of the twelve sexiest geeks will then be available for flaming at the
Geek & Guru website. The finalists will be chosen--from their online
questionnaire responses, knowledge of Star Trek trivia, and how well
they wear a pocket protector-by a panel of High Tech geeks.
The "Sexiest Geek Alive Pageant" will be held Tuesday, March 14th, at
Babe's Bar and Grill, 208 E 6th Street, and features Ginger
MacKenzie-MP3.com's "Best Artist of 1999." New York's Jet Set Six will
headline and more acts to be announced.
The winner of the "Sexiest Geek Alive" title will be announced at the
Pageant and simulcast over the Internet by ClubCastLive.com. All
proceeds from the event go to the SIMS foundation, which provides
medical benefits to musicians and their families. Go to Clubcastlive.com to hear the live broadcast.
Rumor has it that Geek and Guru will also be publishing a "Sexiest Geek"
calendar, but that rumor cannot be substantiated at press time. There
are also rumblings of placing one of the finalists on a poster with two
members of the Texas Bikini Team on each arm. Hopefully this will be
marketed toward young geeks-in-training with the caption, "BE NICE TO
THE GEEKS. SOMEDAY YOU'LL WORK FOR THEM."
