                      to wear a costume!
                            ALL-AGES!!!

 
 
    Then BAM! A little video our media man Justin Saenz pieced together for you guys. The event was hosted by CherryWood CoffeeHouse which showcased two Nerdcore Hip-Hop beasts by the name of Doug Funnie and Damp Heat, along with some badass nerd style local Austin artists with sick merch for sell. We had Butter Sword the webcomic, Bright Eyed Birdie Creations, Jen Hearts Art, Jess of Hotline Design Ink, and  Sever Reiley reading the cards of the crowd that night. Just one of the many nerd inspired nights Racketeer Robot will be bringing Austin soon. Look out for the next one!
