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.

Tabletop games & boba tea
University boba tea house, 2828 east bearss avenue ,, Tampa, FL, USLet's play some easy to moderate strategy games for 4-6 players per table. Examples of games I have in this range include but are not limited to Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride, King of Tokyo, Munchkin, Sequence, Pandemic, Takenoko, etc. Feel free to bring games of your own as well. We will be splitting up to play games as necessary. This particular event is not the big group party game vibe (Stay tuned for one of those!).
Attendees must purchase at least one drink or snack to support the business!
The venue: This spot has an extensive specialty menu of blended boba teas, which you can find here. They also have a small menu of snack items such as mozzarella sticks, bao buns, and ramen.

The summary:
A New York bookseller's favorite customer gives her a gift, a strange book with a handwritten message telling her that this is the Book of Doors, and that any door is every door. The world is full of possibilities when you can travel anywhere. But the Book of Doors is not the only magical book in the world. There are other books that can do wondrous and dreadful things when wielded by dangerous and ruthless individuals - individuals who crave what she now possesses. There is a nameless evil out there that is hunting them all . . . Because some doors should never be opened.The venue: We are meeting at Beef O'Brady's Forest Hills because we have reserved a private room, which is nice and quiet. Get the menu here.
Where to get it: You can borrow the ebook and audiobook on Hoopla or Libby with a library card. You can also find a PDF or epub here.
