An idea that was the brainstorm of members of two small, student organizations, morphed into a spectacle of Star Wars characters, video game tournaments and role playing theater at UW-Madison in the first Geek.Kon.
“We were just blown away,” said Geek.Kon organizer Sarah Eichhorst. “I never expected to see anything this huge.”
An estimated one thousand people were expected to attend the weekend event at UW-Madison Humanities. Geek.Kon also included lectures from science fiction writers, and internet, television and film producers.
