Over 400 geeks, tweeps and onliners attended the latest
Geekfest Beirut on October 2nd at City Mall. This event was unorganized by the
Online Collaborative in partnership with Empire Cinemas, Roadster diner,
Cinemacity and Fiesta Group.
Instead of munching pizza to an illegal torrent on their
computer screen, the organizers took the geeks out for a socializing treat! Those
who were lucky enough to grab the scarce tickets from ihjoz.com enjoyed the
munchies and music at Roadster diner's new terrace. In the meantime, the
bravest and the hungriest of them faced a super-sized food challenges while
tweeps stuck to a virtual food fight.
As for the staple Geekfest Talks, they covered a wide range
of topics. Roadster diner revealed some of their secret figures, while food
blogger Anthony Rahayel talked about his quest for the perfect burger
accompanied by a tantalizing slideshow of all the burgers he has tried. Liquid
nitrogen poured on stage, in a live Molecular Gastronomy show by Federico
Rodriguez of the Moleculartists, and Reine Abbas animated her talk about
animation elements enlightening mere mortals on how hard it is to craft them!
The most special treat of them all was an exclusive
avant-premiere for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 ten days before its
official premiere.
