A showcase of this week's finest geek and geek related activities for the week. Mark your calendars.
Longer Term
Wednesday
Saturday
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.
Longer Term
- Theater - Hack and Slash Christmas Special - Brooklyn Park, MD - Friday through Monday
- Did you miss the Hack & Slash shows earlier this year? No worries, their fantastically popular holiday show is coming up this weekend. As their site advertises: it’s not only in color, but live! Tickets are on sale here.

- Museum - National Geographic: Exploring the Edge of Existence - Washington, DC - 7:00 PM
- John Mather (2006 Nobel Laureate in Physics), will be talking shop with Robert Ballard (National Geographic’s Explorer-in-Residence - coolest job title ever!) about how technology is expanding the limits of the known universe. The event is unsurprisingly sold out, but you could always keep an ear to Twitter for cancellations.
- Museum - After Hours at the Crime Museum - Washington, DC - 7:00 PM
- Heads up: Their site has the creepiest gif I’ve seen this side of 1995. This event teaches the history of crime and punishment in America “with a twist!” Get temporary prison tattoos, watch a blood splatter demonstration, pick out a last meal, and more! You stay classy, Crime Museum.

- Event - Santarchy - Washington, DC - 1:00 PM
- Also called Santacon, this event is “non-profit, non-political, non-religious, and non-sensical.” This Saturday, dress up in Santa suits, run around town, give gifts, sing songs, and do generally Santa-like things. The Santarchy site has the full rules (e.g. “Don’t fuck it up for the rest of us!” - their words of holiday cheer, not mine.)
- Beer - Snow Day: A Bar Crawl - Washington, DC - 1:00 PM
- Explore DC one bar at a time. There’s great deals on drinks, and the event registration is half-off if you sign-up in advance. Of course, the event is 21+ (sorry, kids). The event will hit the Front Page, Bread and Brew, Madhatter, The Mighty Pint, Black Finn, and 19th. Here’s a song to put you in the mood.
- Family - Dinosaur Film, Puppet and Craft Festival - Annandale, VA - 3:00 PM
- For those of you with geeky kids: spend a day outside with interactive learning stations and the chance to handle real fossils. There’s 25 reservations available for kids ages 4 to 9. At $9.00 a ticket, it’s still less expensive than going to see that horrible Chipmunks movie.
