Purpose: To acquire Conversations for a Cause 2015 panel tickets
While everyone else in my household was happily dreaming, I was emotionally, mentally, and physically prepping for Nerd HQ Ticketgeddon 2015. To my fellow tributes that survived the first round of ticket sales, we made it. To those who suffered the wrath of the ticket gods, fear not, there will be more opportunities down the road.
If you’re unfamiliar with Nerd HQ, check out our Nerd It Forward post on the I Want My Nerd HQ campaign.
Here are my Top Nerdy 10 panels that I’m looking forward to for this year’s Conversations for a Cause.
1. Heroes Reborn
Zac leads the panel with the cast of the much-anticipated reboot of Tim Kring’s sci-fi drama which aired its last episode five years ago.
2. Stephen Amell
Panelist, Stephen Amell, from CW’s Arrow fame, makes his triumphant return to the HQ stage.
3. Marvel: Partners in Prime Time (Agents of SHIELD & Agent Carter)
The line-up for this panel features none other than Agent Coulson and Agent Carter themselves, Clark Gregg and Hayley Atwell. First-time HQ panelists! Yay!
4. Con Man
The much anticipated Indiegogo-backed project will bring creators/stars/HQ staples Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk to the stage.
5. Nathan Fillion
Speaking of Fillion, the HQ veteran will no doubt bring his bag o’ shit to both of his (sold out) panels.
6. Joss Whedon
We had the privilege of being at a Joss panel in the past so we are looking forward to another entertaining hour from one of the greatest storytellers of our generation.
7. Supernatural
The boys are back! Jared, Jensen, Misha, and Mark. The nerdy quadrifecta. Fairly certain that’s a real word…
8. William Shatner
The Captain of the Enterprise is coming to Nerd HQ for the first time. Holy Kirk, Batman! There seems to be an endless supply of Canadian nerds descending on HQ.
9. Zac Levi
Nerd 001. He had us in tears at our very first HQ panel. Probably will have us in tears again this year. Better pack extra tissues.
10. ???
In traditional Nerd HQ fashion, there will no question be more panels announced. Mystery Panel? Badass Women Panel? British Invasion Panel? You just never know!

It begins in seven days. Hope to see y’all there!
