About us
Welcome to Geekocracy: the best Meetup group for fun events with your fellow geeks and gamers! The goal of this group is to coordinate fun and inclusive social events — like happy hours, game nights, movie premieres, etc. — to get out from behind our TV screens and make new friends. Geek culture is taking over the world and we're going to be in the middle of it! If anyone has recommendations or would like to help with organizing events, reach out to me or one of our event organizers.

The summary:
In an opulent mansion, a high Imperial officer lies dead—killed, to all appearances, when a tree spontaneously erupted from his body. Called in to investigate this mystery is Ana Dolabra, an investigator whose reputation for brilliance is matched only by her eccentricities, like insisting on always being blindfolded. At her side is her new assistant, magically altered to possess a perfect memory. As the two close in on a mastermind and uncover a scheme that threatens the safety of the Empire itself, Ana’s assistant realizes he’s barely begun to assemble the puzzle of the Empire’s greatest detective and wonders how long he’ll be able to keep his own secrets safe from her piercing intellect.The venue: We are meeting at World of Beer's Fowler Avenue location.
