One of their recent podcasts featured music by Jonathan Coulton which was so great, it caused me to rush home and buy his album off iTunes. I've given money to Neptune Coffee, Gary's Games, and the Greenwood Space Travel Supply Company... places I never would have patronized had I not heard about them from the "Geeklies". Not only are they building community, but by letting other geeks what's going on where, they're keeping geeky things alive (or undead, as the case may be...). Special thanks to the interviewer for getting their story out so more people can satisfy the Seattle Geek in themselves.

Their definitions of geek and geekiness resonate well with me, under which I certainly qualify as a geek but with different genres than theirs. And there are a lot of us that are passionate about art that are in their financial boat ("The short answer is no. The long answer is noooooo.").
