ZQC Meetup at NYC and with Zachary Quinto!

Zach and some ZQC-ers!

On 8th January 2011, a few of the ZQC-ers (Zachary Quinto Community members) met up in NYC to watch the "Angels in America" play at the Signature Theatre.

And they were lucky enough to get real close to the genuine Zachary Quinto biceps. ;)

Here's the report by Lindsay, one the fortunate ZQC-ers that weekend!!

The ZQ/ Heroes Connection

The Heroes fans meetup at SDCC 2010!

To all those who love sneering at us pop-culture/ comic fans having a fabulous geek-fest at Comic Con, just go talk to the hand.

Comic Con was indeed very very cool. But when you start to reflect upon that whirlwind weekend, you would realize that it wasn't so much about Comic Con itself that made the weekend memorable, it was the friendship forged and strengthened (before and after) that made it so Extra Special.

It is no different from so-called "non-geeky" folks who gather their butts down on a huge couch, drinking beer and watching sports game after game on TV (I can tell of peeps who plan and take a week-long off just to watch the English Premiere League) or those who line up their custom-made cars/ bikes on a weekend and ... well, talk about gears and wheels.

The common thing from all this human pack-like behaviour is the camaraderie built through shared experiences. For the convention goers, it consisted of those groaningly "where the frak is my coffee?" early-morning camp-outs, agonizingly boring long waits in line to see/ hear panels/ celebs, stumbling upon an awesome find at the exhibit hall, sharing the thrill of connecting/ meeting a celeb or just hanging out with your fellow geek friends. You don't need to *explain* things to your geek friends.

Tweets and the City

Quick! Get a hold on Neal Caffrey! We need our pretty blue-eyed con-artist to come do some super-sleek decoding on the Quinto-cryptogram!

Especially considering that Neal's alternate persona is Matt Bomer - Zach's fellow Carnegie-Mellon college-mate, I think it'll work just swell.

You see, Zachary Quinto has been a not-so-internet-cautious Twitter user lately. While busy in NYC (more on that later), he has been tweeting far more often than we have been used to! Imagine those slender fingers flying across his iPhone's Echofon!
