Pull-List for 03/20/13

Hope everyone had a great St. Patrick's Day Weekend! If you did it right, you're just getting over your hangover. I had an epically awesome time pub crawlin' Boystown with the Chicago Gaymers and Gaybros. Great times!

This upcoming weekend doesn't get any less epic or geeky. The second Geeks OUT event in Chicago is happening at Spin on March 24, from 5P-10P. If you like team trivia, blood sports, and all things geeky, you should definitely check out Geeks OUT - The Arena . Check out who else is coming here or just straight up register here.
