If you are interested in running for a board position, please read the following. If not, please skip ahead to the regular event description!!
As we mentioned previously, we are adding members to the Board and the general election will be held this Trivia for FOUR board members!
Applications to run for election were handed out at the last Trivia and can be requested from any of the current members (Nick, Mike L, Chris A, Chris S, Jacob, Eric, or Mike C). These applications are important because the election will be "blind." We need to know whether you have attended enough past events to be eligible, and we need you to take time to let everyone know why you want to be on the Board, what your goals for GGNY are, and what talents or experience you bring to the table, because that is what everyone will be considering when they vote. These statements will be posted around the room and online, so please get in your application by December 1st so everyone has time to read it!
Going forward, Board terms will be for TWO years, but this time , to help maintain continuity from year to year, one of the elected members will only have a ONE year term, so please let us know whether or not you only want to commit to one year. If nobody opts for the shorter term, terms will be determined by number of votes. Elected members will join Mike L, Chris A, Chris S, and Jacob, who will serve out the second year of their terms, as well as Nick and four members to be appointed by the current Board. In 2015 and after, the Board will be joined by 3 new or re-elected members and 3 new or re-appointed members.
If you have any questions/comments about this process, your eligibility, or wish to be given an application, please contact me or Christopher Stansfield on Facebook or send an email to either gaygeeksofny@gmail.com or pr@gaygeeksofny.com.
Now onto the regular info!!

Join us once again for another fun evening of GEEK TRIVIA!!
If you are attending for the first time, please READ this description in its entirety!
The usual deal:
Gay Geeks of NY is an ongoing social gathering for all gay, lesbian, bi, trans and otherwise queer "geeks" of all backgrounds and ages meeting at the LGBT Center once a month. Gay supporters welcome as well!!
This is a place to make friends and discuss your favorite comics, video games, TV shows, role-playing games, books and more with fellow geeks of all genres.
Each gathering centers around our four round Geek Trivia, which covers all aspects of geek genres, with a prize bag going to the winner. Two rounds of trivia, followed by a mingling period, then the final two rounds!
Here's the lowdown for our gathering...as always!
1) The cost to attend will be $5 each.
2) If you plan on attending, PLEASE bring a food or drink item to share with the group.
3) VERY IMPORTANT - Though this invite says we are in Room 410, please check at the front desk whether or not our room has been changed. Due to renovation construction at the Center we may be moved to another room last minute, so please check first!
4) DONATIONS! - Have geeky crap that you want to get rid of? (comic book trades, statues, action figures (not loose, packaged only), DVDs, video games, etc)
Then bring it! I will take it towards future prize bags! HOWEVER, please do not bring me loose comics, or individual comics. That also goes for broken or unplayable CDs, DVDs or video games! They will wind up getting thrown out! (We are in desperate need of used video games!! Whether they be 3DS, xBox 360, or Playstation!!)
5) Only a six person limit per team! You do NOT however, need to bring your own team. (you will form a team with other members in attendance)
6) If you do plan on bringing your own team, or if you are bringing 3 or more friends and want to sit together, then PLEASE do not be late. If you are late, then we cannot guarantee you will be able to sit together.
Please join us for our our gathering Sunday, December 8th for another rousing gathering of Geek Trivia!!
