Everyone - other LUGs, other technical groups, etc... - are invited to send a
team to this years 2005 Geek Jeopardy event. Just let me know your coming -
programdirector at kalamazoolinux.org

Come celebrate the true joy of being geek - knowing all that minutia, arcana,
and esoteric information that is so handy when drafting new pick-up lines! This
years categories are sure to result in a cornucopia of sardonic quips,
mythopoetical exclamations, and maybe even a few broken spectacles. What more
thrilling scene is there than the victor's squeels of pure geeker-joy while the
defeated shout curses at them in a combination of Klingon and Sindarin?

Did we mention FREE PIZZA and PRIZES.

out as many players as you want between rounds. Each team is permitted two
substitutions per round at any point. An accidental third subsitition will cost
