Geek Girls Network Tweet-Up @ Comic-Con

By Gabriel Madrigal

I’ve been attending Comic-Con for many years now and each year brings new surprises. For me, the best part about Con is not the panels, celebrities or costumes. No sir, for me, it’s the nightlife. Making new friends and sharing a drink while discussing the day’s events are where memories are created. So when my wife told us about the Geek Girls Network Tweet-Up, it didn’t take much to convince my group - we knew this was the place to be.

Sponsored by the Science Channel, ThinkGeek & Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, the Geek Girls Network Tweet-Up flashed an impressive list of notable geeky patrons. But just who is the GGN? Besides being one of the nicest group of people I met at Con, they are, according to their site:

Geek Girls Network™, founded by Kristin Rielly (Publisher), is a resource hub for women who possess a passion, knowledge, and interest for all things “geeky”. Our mission is to provide timely and accurate news, reviews and training, across a broad spectrum of interests in order to promote and encourage women of all ages to embrace their “geekiness”.

The party was great! The room brimmed with wonderful people, great music and fantastic visuals. A DJ played everything from “Weird Al” Yankovic to the Big Bang Theory theme song. The room’s television screens showed montages of geeky movies and TV shows, from Star Wars to Ultraviolet to Venture Brothers and everything in between.

The Tweet-Up sponsors were as welcoming as the hosts and provided bits of geeky goodness to the lucky guests. A trivial contest/giveaway was the perfect end to the evening. We look forward to more events with the Geek Girls Network in the future!
