Long Beach Geeks

Welcome back movie fiends to the Celluloid Crypt.

We have been hosting at the amazing Wicked Wolf bringing our own twist with Mystery Science Theatre commentary. We are not a serious club only here to have fun and meet amazing people. There will be trivia with prizes!

We are taking a break from the silent movies this time around. Come join and let's have a fun time!

All we ask is to support the local business by purchasing a drink or snack before joining in. We are in for a good time!!

Ren Faire 2026
Huzzah!
Take a step back in time - the Renaissance Faire!! Jousting, Shopping, Food, and Shakespeare!
The Southern California Renaissance Faire runs every weekend from April 4, 2026 through May 17, 2026.
This year I will be hosting a group on April 26, 2026.
Join us in yesteryear, a time that was simpler, easier, and crazier than we remember. Costumes welcome, but not required. Don’t have a costume? Rent one on site. Lots of Activities and Events for the family! Don’t have a family? Come anyways - lots of events and activities for groups of all ages (even if by yourself).
Even though I am hosting the group, many people have many interests. Closer to the meet date, I will post the meeting schedule and locations. This will allow individuals to decide what they would like to do and/or go to the shows they would like to see. I am generally easy to find, as I wander around the Faire carrying a large pink plastic butterfly on a stick.
Activities include shopping areas, a food court, Ren Quest (for the gamers in the group), kids kingdom (if you choose to bring children), NC-17 stage (no children allowed), pub crawls, family shows (Broon, Clan Tynker), Bawdy shows (Washing Well Wenches), Period Activities (knife throwing, axe throwing, archery, fencing etc.), Rides (human powered, but quite fund!), and Maze, Crafts, and of course Jousting.
Do not forget to purchase your tickets at http://renfair.com/socal/. Warning! Parking is NOT included.
This event will be cross posted a few groups including: Westside Geeks and Nerds, Long Beach Geeks, Single in LA, Culture, Cuisine, Cocktails, Coffee & Convos = Community, 40 plus, Fabulous Fifties, Two Feet Adventures, Make Pour Choices, More To Explore, I just moved to LA, Art!Art!Art!, Fork and Cork, Jewish Meeting place, SSC, I wanted to do that.

“A labyrinth of a book—vast and intricate, full of fiendish twists and clever traps—with a deeply human heart at its center. It's thrilling, romantic, often tragic, and always funny; I'm obsessed.” —Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of Starling House

The Raven Scholar is a masterfully woven tale of imperial intrigue from an electrifying new voice in epic fantasy.

Let us fly now to the empire of Orrun, where after twenty-four years of peace, the reign of Bersun the Brusque has come to an end. In the dizzying heat of midsummer, seven exceptional warriors, thinkers, strategists compete to replace him.

When one of them is murdered, it falls to Neema Kraa, the emperor’s brilliant, idiosyncratic High Scholar, to find the killer and fight for the throne. Neema believes she is alone. But we are here to help; all she has to do is let us in.

If she succeeds, we will win an empire. If she fails, death awaits her. But we won’t let that happen.

We are the Raven, and we are magnificent.

Greetings everyone! This is a very social board game group here to meet new people and try new games. We mostly play party games or those thet involve many players. We are not serious nor competitive in any ways. We are here to learn and have fun!!

Bring your favorite card or board games and play a few games with your fellow geeks! Game player slots are first come, first serve, but don't worry if you're a little late, there will be several board games available to play.
We are open to new places to try. However, we are out to support our local businesses. Currently we are at Hof's Hut.
If you have a request, please feel free to post it here in case a fellow geek happens to have a copy of that game. If you'd like to demo a game, we'd encourage that as well.
We only request if you are bringing a game old or new that you are able to teach it to the group.
We look forward to seeing you all there!
[SIDE NOTE] This venue is indoors. Masks are optional, though if you are experiencing covid-19 symptoms you're encouraged to stay home.
