What we’re about
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.

Get them while they're on sale! The longer you wait, the more expensive they get. - Book Club (Witchy Edition) and Indian FoodTaj Indian Cuisine, Tampa, FL
This month we're reading "The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches," by Sangu Mandanna. We'll discuss it over dinner at Taj Indian Cuisine in Tampa's USF area. Finishing the book is encouraged but not required, as long as you don't mind hearing spoilers.
Here's a summary of the book:
As one of the few witches in Britain, Mika Moon knows she has to hide her magic and she follows the rules...with one exception: an online account, where she posts videos pretending to be a witch. She thinks no one will take it seriously.But someone does. An unexpected message arrives, begging her to travel to the remote and mysterious Nowhere House to teach three young witches how to control their magic.
But magic isn't the only danger in the world, and when a threat comes knocking at their door, Mika will need to decide whether to risk everything to protect a found family she didn't know she was looking for....
