True story:
I was once the only person to wear a Star Wars or Marvel Comics T-shirt to my gym here in West L.A.
My involvement with Star Wars fandom was publicized far beyond that when interviews started showing up all over local news and even a spot on MTV's Urban Myths Show as a resident Star Wars expert, which aired all over the cardio area televisions.
I kept my nerdery real, and eventually people starting "outting" themselves in droves as Star Wars and comic book nerds. Athletic people. Rich people. Sexy people.
Now there's weekly Star Wars discussions involving the unlikeliest of participants.
I keep it real.
As my good friend Grimlock says, "If a woman ain't down with the Star Wars, then she needs to go. NOW. Kick rocks!"
