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.

The summary:
"Who'd want to kill a dumb cartoon bunny?"That's what Eddie Valiant wants to know. He's the toughest private eye in Los Angeles, and he'll handle anything—if you're human. If you're a Toon, that's another story. Eddie doesn't like Toons.
But he'll work for a Toon if his cash supply is low enough. So he reluctantly agrees when Roger Rabbit, a Toon in the Baby Herman cartoon series, asks him to find out who's been trying—unsuccessfully—to buy his contract from the DeGreasy Brothers syndicate.
Then Rocco DeGreasy is murdered—and Roger is the prime suspect! The rabbit is also, as Eddie soon discovers, very, very dead. Who dunnit?
The venue: We are meeting for food at Fat Rabbit Pub in Tampa Palms.
Where to get it: You can borrow the ebook and audiobook on Hoopla with a library card. You can also download the Kindle file here.
