More Press for JagerCon!

Metromix says:

What happens when fashionistas take a break from their glamorous lifestyles to indulge their nerdy sides? They stage screenings of old "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" episodes and take breaks for cocktails over conversation of last week's installment of "BSG".

Luckily for fans who are slightly off the cutting edge of nerdiness, JagerCon features the creme of the science fiction crop. Curators and L'etoile magazine editors Kate Iverson and Beth Hammarlund have selected movies that appeal to even most centrist of geeks, including "Blade Runner", "TRON" and everyone's favorite David Bowie film "Labyrinth".

But even though Tuesdays are now nerd nights, Club Jager is still a pretty hip spot, so you'll want to go for something a little sleek and sexy before you go for your cos play. Who knows, you might just bump into the Sci-Fi fan of your dreams. -Metromix


While this doesn't technically count, since I wrote it, Secrets of the City says:

Head to North Loop fave Clubhouse Jager tonight for JagerCon, a weekly Sci-Fi meetup and nerdy movie/TV Show viewing party. This week's event features a free screening of Mirrormask. A dark fantasy tale from the mind of writer Neil Gaiman, Mirrormask is a beautiful and surreal film with a heavy helping of creepiness, just for good measure. While you're there, enjoy 2-4-1 drink specials all night on taps and rails, mingle with like-minded sci-fi/fantasy geeks, discuss D&D strategies, and use that Captain Picard impression you've been perfecting to pick up chicks at the bar. It totally works. On us anyway. -Kate Iverson


Where the Long Tail Ends says:

Northside Minneapolis hipster hangout Clubhouse Jäger is hosting L’Etoile Magazine’s new Tuesday night nerdgasm, JagerCon. The theme? Screenings of Sci-fi films and TV shows, ranging from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dr. Who, Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, Star Trek and many more. Hosted by Kate Iverson and Beth Hammarlund, the night also will involve two-for-one drink specials throughout the night and possibly the occasional clash between rogue LARPers. Screenings start at 10pm are 21+, and best of all, totally free. Nerd up!

This week’s screening will be the film Mirrormask, directed by über-artist Dave McKean and written by Newbery Award winning Neil Gaiman, most recently of Coraline fame. Upcoming weeks will feature the director’s cut of Bladerunner, and a double feature of Forbidden Planet and Angry Red Planet. Make sure to check both the Clubhouse Jäger site, the L’Etoile Magazine’s blog, and for those of you who want to skip the middleman, the JagerCon blog for future screenings. -Matt Gamble
