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.

Book Club: "I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom" and Indian food
Curry Leaves Tampa, 204 Westshore Plaza, Tampa, FL, USWe're reading a standalone darkly humorous thriller by bestselling author Jason Pargin, who also wrote "John Dies at the End."
Summary: Outside Los Angeles, a driver pulls up to find a young woman sitting on a large black box. She offers him $200,000 cash to transport her and that box across the country, to Washington, DC.
But there are rules:
He cannot look inside the box.
He cannot ask questions.
He cannot tell anyone.
They must leave immediately.
He must leave all trackable devices behind.As these eccentric misfits hit the road, rumors spread on social media that the box is part of a carefully orchestrated terror attack intended to plunge the USA into civil war.
The truth promises to be even stranger, and may change how you see the world.
The venue: We are meeting for food at Curry Leaves' new location in Westshore Plaza. They have excellent Indian food. See the menu here.
Where to get it: You can borrow the ebook and audiobook with a library card through Libby. Download the PDF here and the EPUB for Kindle here.
