THE Geekeasy
We are working on planning a special event for Saturday evening that we hope will entice you to dress up and spend time getting to know each other: A Speakeasy! Complete with special beverages, finger food and cabaret-style performances. That is to say that people will be performing but you don't have to stop what you're doing to watch if you don't want to. The performances will be sprinkled through the Speakeasy so you can walk around, keep chatting, come and go and enjoy them as you wish.
We will be accepting applications for the performance slots from the community in the coming weeks. Watch this spot and FL for more information on how to share your idea with us! We are especially interested in rope performances and burlesque but open to other ideas as well. They should have a geeky component to them in order to appeal to our crowd at this event. For example, we expect to present the Death of Hedwig (pictured) as one of the acts. So mine your favorite fandom or bring us your mad scientists and other fun stuff to pick from!
