It’s easy! All you have to do is email me at bambi@hotpinkgeek.com and tell me why your Thursday night should include an awesome magic show — that’s it!
Described by Johnny Carson, as “one of the classiest magic acts you’re going to see in a long time! The best I’ve seen!”, Joseph Gabriel has performed on virtually every major television variety show; for ten consecutive years in Las Vegas, and in an unprecedented 18 month Broadway run. His masterful sleight-of-hand and spectacular illusions will be in perfect harmony with our Pops Maestro Jack Everly leading the NAC Orchestra in magical orchestral gems guaranteed to leave you enchanted.
Hello HPG readers old and new, and welcome to the inner reaches of my brain. Welcome to the hive mind!
I’m sure this isn’t news to any of you who read sites like HotPinkGeek regularly, but I spend a good portion of my time ‘researching’ the most ridiculous things on the internet and sharing them with those who will listen (and a few who really won’t).
Over the next few days I’ll be sharing with you my favourite lists of 2009 — websites, crazy people, whoa-worthy videos — everything you’ve come to expect from HotPinkGeek and more!
Without further ado, here’s today’s list: Websites where you can waste absurd amounts of time!
Now, I’ve not spent a lot of time organizing them into rank – in my head or otherwise – so I want you to look at this list as one solid, flowing piece of crap artwork wherein you could randomly choose a link and be whisked away to a magical land of ridiculous/funny/mind-blowing and lose the better portion of your productive work day. I am to distract and amuse! And… go! (Click here for HPG’s Top 25 of 2009: Websites where you can waste absurd amounts of time)

Good luck to you all! We look forward to hearing from you soon!
As you may or may not know, the majority of us here at HotPinkGeek are located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (with the exception of a few ditchers out-of-towners, of course).
I wanted to give our local readers a heads up about an upcoming site I’ll be launching soon:
This new sitewill be featuring more information about local events as well as first-hand reviews of attractions, restaurants, and festivals. That’s right! Be sure to stop by the site to see what’s going on around town! And you can bet your bottom dollar that we’ll have some cool prizes and giveaways, too — vouchers, coupons, free tickets and much more!
Keep your eyes and ears open for the new site launch — I’m excited, are you?
