    "Geeks Who Drink" to Finally Invade Orange County

    ​A couple of years ago while on book tour in Denver, I received an invitation to be a guest host for something called Geeks Who Drink, a Colorado phenomenon that takes the traditional pub quiz and hipster-izes it to its wonderful, besotted conclusion.
