Thursday

• Oh shit!  If you have a smart phone(no Blackberry does not count) then you've played the Birds that are Angry game.  Compare your skill at this atrocious time waster to other local Washingtonians.

Friday

• Gaming - Small World Tournament - Dulles, VA - 7:00 PM
• Ok, small world is a lot of fun.  What's going on with all of these tournaments this week.  I'm declaring this week to be TOURNAMENTATHON.  Where if you feel like it, you can be nerding it up in tournaments almost every day.  Outside of a con at that!  Small world is a lot of fun.  A strange board control... sort of conquest game.  If you're into it, I'd check this out.

Sunday

• Geekish General - Movies on the Potomac: Despicible Me - Oxon Hill, MD - Dusk
• I've heard nothing but good things about this movie, although I haven't seen it yet.  If I happen to be in town Sunday night I wouldn't be surprised if I go check it out.  Can't go wrong with a large outdoor movie night on an inflatable screen anyway.  Unless it blows away... or lands on you.

An exciting week! Get to it! Other weekly reoccurring events are listed on our website (such as Rocky, CCG tournaments, crazy themed happy hours...). For more information, check out the calendars at DC Geeks.
