GeekyCon vs HPA Quidditch Match
Last year, the HPA won but GeekyCon caught the snitch. We've spent the past 12 months training and we're ready for a rematch. Join us as a bunch of geeks take on a bunch of other geeks in a live demonstration of geeky sportsmanship at the geekiest event in the world. It's geekfest on a broomstick, and we're playing for glory. This should be fun. And embarrassing.
