Nutshell news, Oct. 16
Spooky Planetarium Show
You don’t have to wait to until the sun goes down to see the stars – MHCC has a planetarium, if you don’t know. And it will be showing a ‘spooktacular’ program for the Halloween season.
“Spooky Stellar Phantoms: Nebulae and More!” will screen for Mt. Hood students, faculty, staff and the public on Thursday and again on Tuesday, Nov. 3. There will be two showings for both days, at 6 and 7:15 p.m. Admission is $5, but only $2 for students with a valid MHCC ID and children under 17.
No Shame Talent Show
Calling all performers: The No Shame Talent Show will be held at 4:30 p.m. Thursday at the Studio Theatre (AC1118).
Participants may present any original project they have, whether a display of art, music, theater, poetry, personal story, stand-up comedy, etc.
Here’s the catch: You have to show up 10 minutes before the event to sign up for a 5-minute slot. There are rules once you get there: The act/display must be original, cannot harm anyone and cannot harm the stage area.
Retro Gaming Expo
Yup, it’s finally here: The most hipster gaming convention is coming to the most hipster place on Earth.
The Portland Retro Gaming Expo will run at the Oregon Convention Center, opening for early admission at 9 a.m. Saturday (doors open for standard admission at 10 a.m.). It ends at 5 p.m. Sunday.
The Expo will feature 165 arcade games, from the ’80s to today’s newest arcade hits which players will gladly waste a lot of time on.
And don’t forget the crazy amount of cosplayers that come from all around the world; it’ll practically be a zoo. There might be even a chance of a cosplay fight – who doesn’t like seeing those? The Classic Tetris World Championship is going to be hosted at the event, too, creating an International Tetris throwdown.
With panels going on throughout the entire weekend, I doubt you will have any trouble finding something you have an interest in. So, invite your friends, cosplay, get your game on and have a fanatical time!
