LGN at HEXAGON CAFE

On a warm Tuesday night, LGN's finest came out for a bit of board gaming at the modernly appointed Hexagon Cafe. 

LGNYEG set up a board gaming event at the Hexagon Board Gaming Cafe on Whyte Avenue in hopes to bring together intermediate players and beginners to the world of board gaming. The food and drink was spot on with piping hot meat pies and frothy good cappuccinos. The Hex staff were personable, helpful, and involved in teaching some of the first comers the game Monster Boss. Other LGNers set up a round of Lords of Waterdeep and Dominion. Some were beginners to the games, others were well versed and wanted to play with new people. It seemed that with a packed house, the environment to play was everywhere and made for a wonderful full night of gaming.

Planning for a night out with friends? Why not try the Hexagon Cafe for a bit of gaming. For a few hours, it's still cheaper than a movie.

LGN Presents: She Makes Comics

She Makes Comics

For our January meeting we screened the documentary She Makes Comics. She Makes Comics is the result of a successful Kickstarter campaign that documents the little-known history of women working in the comic book industry. It takes us from the inception of comic books, when girls were actually the majority of the audience, to the turbulent 60’s and 70’s, all the way to today. The interviews were fascinating and inspiring; in fact after the meeting many LGN members were feeling the creative vibes and we have started to talk about a group project.

Exciting stuff! Click on the link for more information about She Makes Comics! 

December Craft Market

December Craft Market with LADY GEEKs uNITE!

On December 8, 2014 LGN hosted a unique geek driven craft market. Ladies sold things like dinosaur accessories, superhero mugs and scarves, buttons and greeting cards, and tasty baked goods.

We also had a few packages from BioWare and Laila Aslund to raffle off if attendees donated to the Edmonton Food Bank. We just about filled the entire donation box that evening! Thank you to everyone who donated!

Since we got such a positive response at the event you can bet that we will be bringing the craft market back! Right now our plan is for a summer time garage sale in our rear parking lot. Stay tuned for details!
