From Andrew: While living on the west coast, I discovered the "Geek Club", a place for all things to please the inner geek in all of us! When I moved out here, I wanted to find something like that and I started this group. Our event types are really dependent on what the members ask for. Video games, museums, boardgames, movies & book discussions, it's all fair game! The group is open to all ages, genotypes, prototypes, and even meeples!

We plan on having lots of things to do mainly on the weekends. We will do dinner and movies, museums, concerts, hiking, theater, and whatever else we as a group can think to do. I don't really want to put a age restriction on the group as I believe age doesn't dictate how much fun one can have or be. So any young-minded women, single, married, or otherwise, who wants to get out and be social with a bunch of fun women is welcome to join!
