DALEK. That should be all I have to say. There will be a DALEK at the EMP Museum. As well as the command chair from Star Trek, Neo’s coat from Matrix: Reloaded, a Terminator skull, and concept art from Portal. But…. Dalek!

The EMP Museum is opening a new exhibition titled “Icons of Science Fiction“, and like they do best, they’re throwing a sweet party the night before it opens to the public. Mr. Geek and I will be there partaking in Doctor Who and Star Trek trivia, getting “recruited” for Starfleet Training Command by our friends at Star Trek: Phoenix, and checking out the exhibit. Want to join us?

Enter to win two tickets!

Any of the following counts as one entry–do as many as you like, but leave a separate comment for each so it counts! I will randomly pick a winner on Friday, June 1st and your name will appear on Will Call for the June 8th event.

Leave a comment letting me know which part of the exhibition you can’t wait to see!
