Carol has long been a fixture of geek culture in Charlotte, NC. She has served for several years as the Programming Director for ConCarolinas and worked at the Carolina and Arizona Renaissance Festivals for 15 years. She also podcasts—she is The Cinemistress on Geek Radio Daily, Carol the Cat on Guardians of the Geekery, and one-half of Refried Scenes on The Poprika Network. She is also on Terrible Movies with Wonderful People—a Sunday night Twitch watch party hosted by O_Hai_Mark. When she is not podcasting she is reading, writing, or crafting. If you have trouble locating her, check your local cineplex, as movie theatres are her second home. Her fandoms include all things Tolkien, Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, horror, and lots and lots of tea.

aka GiddyGeeker

Joey Starnes (aka the GiddyGeeker) does not claim to be an expert on all geekeries—she’s just happy to organize them. She runs the Charlotte Geeks, home of the Guardians of the Geekery podcast, the Geek Gala, and the Muggles Market. Her main geekdoms include Doctor Who, Marvel, Star Wars, board games, WoW, and most anything British. She also has a slight obsession with HGTV, Food Network, and TikTok. She’s mostly prepared for a Zombie Apocalypse but is always willing to upgrade her bug-out bag contents. She has yet to build up an immunity to iocane powder. When not scooting from con to con, she’s blissfully ensconced on the couch with her dog Angel and her husband Matt. You can find her in all the places by searching for @giddygeeker, but it may be easiest to start at charlottegeeks.com.
