Geek in the City

In order to express his on opinions about geek culture, Aaron started Geek in the City (http://www.geekinthecity.com) in the early 2000s. It has since become a repository of opinion and information for those shunned from 'mainstream' geek sites.

La Brujeria

Upset with the current state of comics, Aaron, began working on his own comic in 2007. He was able to locate an artist in 2009, and a letterer in 2010, and began self publication in January 2011. At present the comic is available at most comic stores in Portland, and online at Geek in the City.com. La Brujerias plot involves a Mexican American woman named Althalia, gifted with powers from her ancestors, joining a paranormal investigation company based in Portland, drawing on Duran's heritage, love of comics such as Hell Boy, and love of Portland.

Geek in the City: Radio

In 2006, Aaron began co-hosting Film Fever Radio with Scott Dally, a long running podcast, based on a now defunct magazine, called Film Fever. In 2008, the decision was made to retool the show, and rename it Geek in the City Radio, as the Film Fever name made it difficult to obtain guests outside of the movie industry. Since then the show has expanded into an overall coverage of geek news, and includes an ensemble cast of people from Portland.
