The meek might inherit the Earth, but the geeks are taking over Friday in Madison, where the Geek.Kon convention of science fiction, anime, steampunk, gaming and many other nerdy diversions gets under way.
The event, in its third year, is the homegrown effort of University of Wisconsin-Madison students and alumni who wanted to create a convention with a little something for all the subgroups of geek culture, including those who like to dress up in costumes, roll dice, play videogames, read comics and collect toys.
