GAY GEEKS
A Haven for Intellectuals & Visionaries
Next Social/Discussion

2:00 to 5:00pm

BART 24th Street Station (1 block)
In 1997 I organized a popular intellectual discussion group, Gay Geeks. It ran for several years. Many people seemed to enjoy these monthly get-togethers, so I decided to put on one or two
and see if there is room in the world for the resurrection of Gay Geeks.
What is a geek?
By my definition, a geek is someone who has an intense passion for learning about a subject, almost to the exclusion of other pursuits. One does not have to be a computer geek to be a geek, but can be a geek on just about anything: history, religion, math, trains, artichokes, you name it.
Gay Geeks was one of the very few places GBLT people could meet and enjoy far-ranging intellectual discussion in San Francisco. Will it happen again? Well, I'm willing to give it a shot this coming Saturday.
Be there AND be square!

Re: Gay Geeks Resurrection in SF This Saturday
Mon, June 13, 2005 - 11:45 AMIt was okay for my having poorly promoted it. (Tribe and Usenet are definitely *not* the way to go if I want hordes of people to show up.)
We talked for about 3 hours then two of us went out and had dinner.
