The Videogame History Museum has been looking for a home – and I’ve been looking to interview Geek Citizens. I heard about their latest opportunity – settling down in Frisco, Texas, and that’s a great time to talk to the director, Sean Kelly!

Lessa Bouchard of Arc:Hive Discusses “A Moment (Un)bound”
Imagine an art instillation that inspires a play that’s Harry Potter meets the X-Men. Imagine an evolving play about an archive of the world and hidden family secrets. If you can, you’ve got what’s going on A Moment (Un) Bound, an art/play event going on here in Silicon Valley. When I heard of it, I had to interview Lessa Bouchard, a Producing Ensemble Member of the Arc:Hive collective.
