Join Us for Westside Geeks & Nerds' 9th Game Fest & Food Fair event!

Come celebrate a Valentine's Day-themed gaming event!

Attend solo or bring your player number 2!

The Game Fests are very lively, super fun, highly diverse, and social, featuring tabletop and console gaming, and food and drink of all kinds!

If you love all-night gaming, cool geeky company, and lots of food, this event's for you!

We'll be gaming it up in a large 5,000 sq. ft. filming studio in the Echo Park area.

Lots of room and very chill specs.

Game Fests have previously been potluck style, but for the first time, WGN will be providing plenty of eats and drinks for both donations and purchase. This way we can guarantee the quality of food that will always be present at our events. Guests will also find it better to come in worry-free with only games in tow for the event, rather than additionally scouting for or preparing a dish for a potluck arrangement.

You are free to make food requests here on the commentary section and we'll definitely consider having these foods available for the food and drink menu and stations.

Vegan, vegetarian, and those sensitive to gluten will be considered for the menus. As a vegan, I'll personally make sure to cover that base.

The Game Fests are a lot more delightful with lots of entertainment. Bring your favorite board and tabletop games to share and play with others.

This includes gaming equipment such as consoles, laptops, monitors, controllers, and the like. If you'd like to bring a projector for dance games, please let me know.

If you'd like to tag your games with a sticker or marker to show ownership, please do so. I advise it.

We will have a gaming station for video gaming in the warehouse.

We'll be offering Valentine's Day grams (card with personal note and choice of attachable candy) for purchase to send that special someone, whether he/she is someone you meet the day of the party or someone you've had your eye on for awhile.

We'll even allow you to send a gram anonymously if that is your wish, but as they say, "fortune favors the bold!"

----

IMPORTANT!:

Alcohol will be on the premises and will be free with a suggested donation for serving.

As always, with alcohol involved you MUST be 21+ to drink and YOU must drink responsibly.

Inebriated/drunk guests will not be welcomed back to any future events and will be removed from the group. I don't want to be responsible for this type of complication. As a renter, I am responsible for guests and maintaining the integrity and quality of the establishment. The WGN crew has to clean up after the event, so it's inconsiderate to trash and defile the place through drunken behavior and consequences of any kind.
