Misfits of Gaming
Each month, Misfits of Gaming would meet at a pre-arranged location for board games, card games, RPGs, and just about any other kind of game we can get our hands on. We can work together towards putting on a great presence at CONvergence as well as keep ourselves abreast of the latest and greatest developments in our hobby.
The club plans to meet on the second Sunday of every month. Check this page or sign up to the Gaming Google Group for meeting information.
Email Elliott James at gaming@geekpartnership.org if you have any questions!

Geeks Read
Remember the book that started it all? What was ground zero for your fascination with science fiction, or fantasy, or horror? Do you love a good discussion about books that you loved, or hated, or just don't get? This club's for you!
Geeks Read is for people who want to explore the worlds of the written word. Now, GPS already has the great Read the Book, See the Movie club which specializes in novels that have been made into films, and does not limit itself to any one type of story. Geeks Read will focus our selections on the science fiction, fantasy, and horror genres. Come join us as we explore the books that were important to the history of the genre, or important in our own personal histories.
Geeks Read meets the first Tuesday of every month, with doors open at 7:00 pm and the discussion beginning at 7:30 pm. The location will change depending on who volunteers to host for next time at the current meeting. We select titles three months in advance, and at each meeting we will choose a new book for the third month out from that meeting. Geeks Read includes a potluck of treats, so feel free to bring something tasty!
Upcoming Book Selections:
May - Dragonflight by Anne McCaffrey
June - Bimbos of the Death Sun by Sharyn McCrumb
July - Bad Prince Charlie by John Moore

Read the Book/See the Movie
The GPS Read the Book/See the Movie club was the first club formed by our organization. The club's goal was to expand our reading and film horizons by comparing and contrasting films to their source material. We have read books by H. G. Wells, Robert Heinlein, Mark Twain, Jane Austen and other well known authors. We have also strayed from classic novels and short stories to read such works as plays by William Shakespeare and the original screenplay for the Batman feature film. The club has become an education in literary and film history as well as an education in how the film industry adapts written material. We've also had a lot of fun!
The club meets on the second Friday of every month. Social time at 7:00 pm - movie beings promptly at 7:30 pm. Location rotates among club members' homes. The club also sponsors a couple of "a-thons" per year (such as the Bond-a-thon or the Toon-a-thon).
If you have any questions about the club, please email Mary and George at bookmovie@geekpartnership.org.
