My fellow Belle, Jeanine, already wrote about the Seattle Geek Roast happening tonight, but I want to give you 10 reasons why YOU should attend!

The Seattle Geek Roast is TONIGHT!

My Spring Creek Group co-worker, Griffin Bennett, and I have been working hard to spread the news of this interesting and inspirational event for a couple weeks now. In fact, ALL of the planning for this event has happened in LESS than two weeks! I’m so humbled to be part of such an amazing and compassionate community in Seattle! I love our geeks!!!

Here is a list 10 reasons you should come to the Geek Roast tonight – From me and Griffin:

1. Bid at the chance to win over 130 AWESOME auction items! Tickets are $10 each or 20 tickets for $100!
2. The love of your life might be in attendance. I mean, who doesn’t love a geek?!
3. Show off your sick dance moves to the live music at the after party! Rock on!
4. Let’s be honest, you’re not doing anything better tonight anyway.
5. Griffin says playing Skyrim, Call of Duty or Battlefield is not a good excuse, get your geeky butt to the roast!
6. Make new friends. Cooler, geekier friends!
7. Ever wanted to roast Seattle’s “famous” geeks? Now is your chance to possibly roast Chris Pirillo, Shauna Causey, Kevin Urie, Brian Westbrook, Jenni Hogan, Jeremiah Andrick or Andru Edwards!
8. It’s basically happy hour for a cause. Who doesn’t like happy hour?!
9. Help support your community. We’re all in this together!
10. YOU can help save the life of an awesome dude named Nick. What more reason do you need?

I received an invite to a curious event next weekend, and thought I would share it will you all as well! It’s called Seattle Geek Roast and it takes place on November 11, 2011 (11-11-11). Proceeds of the event will go to help local geek, Alyssa Magnotti’s husband, Nick Magnotti, who was recently diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Mucinous Adenocarcinoma. You can get more information about Alyssa and Nick by clicking here. The event takes place at the Redmond Marriott Town Center and the Sear Restaurant.

This event sounds like a blast! You can go to the website and vote for which local Seattle geek celeb you would like to see roasted, and then participate on the 11th. Nominated geeks include Chris Pirillo, Shauna Causey, Kevin Urie, Brian M. Westbrook, Jenni Hogan, Jeremiah Andrick, and Andru Edwards. You can also start your own write-in campaign if you would like to see someone else added to the list.

Tickets are on a donation basis, with a minimum of $20. With a ticket, you not only get access to the roast, but also:

• Heavy Appetizers
• Wine & Beer
• Music
• Geek Roast
• Live Auction
• After Party at SEAR inside the Marriott

As I mentioned above, all proceeds of the ticket sales will go to the “Nick Magnotti Benevolent Fund”. Tickets can be purchased for the Geek Roast at the event website: http://seattlegeekroast.com/.

Let us know if you decide to go! Would love to see you there.
