Geek Pop ’10 is almost upon us and we expect you’re just as excited as we are. This year, we’re all singing, all dancing, cross-media, multi-reality, bla bla bla… but what that basically means is there are plenty of ways you can experience the 2010 festival.
So here are some of the ways you’ll be able to listen/attend/take part. Get ready…
VIRTUAL FESTIVAL
This is how it all began. And we’ll be back with a newly transformed and beautified virtual festival site at www.geekpop.co.uk on 12 March. Just rock up with your headphones to listen to all the performances, download them for free and get up to stupid stuff – like sending your misplaced virtual underwear to the Lost & Found tent.
Register your attendance on Facebook here.
You can also listen to highlights (here are last year’s) via a bumper edition of our podcast. Subscribe for free in iTunes. (Podcast?)
LIVE GIGS
11th March, Live Launch, Cube Microplex, Bristol, doors 7pm

Facebook event for updates on tickets is here.
18th March, The Science Sessions, The Miller, London, doors 7.30pm

If you’re not in the UK, you can also listen to the live events in real time, online, via the Naked Scientists website or in Second Life, at the Naked Scientists auditorium in the SciLands.
As per usual, we’ll be twittering all the way through the festival. Stalk us, or, better, talk to us, here. You can also follow some of our artists here.
HELP SPREAD THE WORD
Get a free digital poster for 2010 here. Brightens up any dreary blog or website… And if you’d like a slightly bigger PDF version for your office/lab/houseboat, all we ask is that you donate £1 (ONE POUND!) to the 2011 festival fund.
Or how about some nanoflyers? Yeah, go on. You’ll have to cut them out yourself, but hey, that makes it almost an art project…
