Tomorrow, I’m going to a very exiting event in Ghent, Brussels Girl Geek Dinner. As you can imagine, this is for geeky girls (or maybe girly geeks, since some men are also coming). The blog was created by this geeky woman, Clo Willaert (who has a really cool blog), and the dinner idea was apparently inspired by Sarah Blow, who created London Girl Geek Dinners.
Here is a short description of the event:
Brussels Girl Geek Dinners are free (including entrance, food, drinks, and even a goodie bag) but seats are limited. This is why only people whose name is on the Wiki page are allowed in.
Doesn’t this sound fantastic? If you are a geeky girl, you should check out if there are Girl Geek Dinners in your city. If not, start Girl Geek Dinners where you are. Here is the list:
- Amsterdam Girl Geek Dinner
- Bay Area Girl Geek Dinner
- Brighton Girl Geek Dinners
- Deutschland Girl Geek Dinner
- Ireland Girl Geek Dinner
- Italia Girl Geek Dinners
- London Girl Geek Dinners
- Malaysia Girl Geek Dinners
- Manchester Girl Geek Dinner
- Montreal Girl Geek Dinner
- New Zealand Girl Geek Dinner
- Nottingham Girl Geek Dinners
- Sydney Girl Geek Dinner
- Toronto Girl Geek Dinners
- Wellington Girl Geek Dinner

A Geek Girl diner! This sounds like a great idea! I might have to have one here in New Jersey USA!
Ellie, I’m sure you could pull off an excellent Geek Girl dinner in New Jersey. The London people started this concept, I’m sure you can contact them if you have any questions.
Hi Bente,
It was really nice meeting you! Hope you liked it.
Clo.
Nice meeting you!
Clo and Bart, thanks for dropping by. Great to meet you too!
Bart, you mentioned the upcoming Barcamp in November, do you know if there is some information in English about this event? I found this site:

My god, how amazing! Brilliant concept.
Hey!
I just came across your blog, and I think it’s awesome! You are good with the written word! I will definitely be checking back here regularly!
If you are interested, check out my blogs, too! I manage two at the moment:
http://www.aestheticsofthenerdy.wordpress.com deals with finding beauty in the geek, be it video games, comic books, or whatever.
http://www.antimonopoly.wordpress.com is my newer blog, in which I review underground board games and give my two cents on them.
Great job! Keep up the good work!
