I can’t read through all 3 pages but…
Definitely another +1 for Marian Call.
+1 for Alton Brown
+1 for Carbon Leaf (although I don’t know how geeky they are/if they’d enjoy themselves or not)
+1 for Moxy Früvous (are they even still together?)
In the “people we’ve had before” category:
MC Frontalot, Randall Munroe
And has anyone mentioned Math the Band? They’re completely awesome. I want to hear them do their awesome musical thing.
Also, MC Lars. Totally nice guy, great nerdcore rapper. And I’ve always wanted to see Random a.k.a. Megaran.
And in the “long shots we’ll never get” category, Josh Groban is a big geek from everything I’ve gathered. I think he’d have a great time.
I know I’m probably in the minority here (and forgive me if this is out of place/irrelevant, seeing as I haven’t actually been on the cruise before), but I’m not so into the big names, personally. I’ve always thought of geek culture at its finest as a place without hierarchy and having “celebrities” (and then everyone else becomes non-celebrities) seems against that… it creates a greater than/lesser than feel. An us vs. them. I’d rather have us all be equals and nerding out together, with some people who happen to step up on stage and perform because it’s what they like to do. We’re all just a bunch of geeks in this together. (And if that’s the feel the cruise already has, awesome!)
