Event Recaps and Summaries

The Great Lakes Geek and members of Team Geek go to a lot of events. Some are terrific. Others are a waste of time. This section will provide summaries (text, pictures and sometimes audio and video) of some events of interest.

If it is a recurring event, it may earn the coveted Great Lakes Geek Seal of Approval. But be warned. It's not easy to impress the Great Lakes Geek.
