Local authors and indie publishers specializing in science fiction, fantasy, and horror will be partying in Kent on June 1. The Kent Nerd Party features a cosplay contest, Lego museum, indoor and outdoor vendors, and more. Small businesses on 1st Ave S and Meeker St will host local makers, artists, authors, and exhibits.
Among the authors expected is Nathan Crowder, creator of Cobalt City (currently being published by DefCon One). Meet the creators of Offscript, a podcast where the hosts read different books that have been adapted, watch the corresponding movie, and compare the two. Participating Kent businesses include Retro Emporium featuring vintage 80s/90s collectibles and retro themed goods; Page Turner Books offering sci-fi, fantasy, mystery, movies, and more; Big Wu’s Gym hosting SeaLUG; and Sweet Themes Bakery serving sweet, nerd-themed treats!
The fun begins at 2pm on Saturday, June 1, and runs until 7pm. Vendor tables will be located inside and outside vendors on 1st Ave S between W Gowe St and E Titus St. The Kent Nerd Party takes place throughout downtown Kent at participating businesses.
