Hundreds of self professed geeks converged at the UW Saturday afternoon to celebrate what they say nerds do best.

The Geek.Kon Convention was for anyone that enjoys, role-playing, video gaming, costumes, fantasy novels and of course science fiction.

This was the first year for the free event, which attracted some nationally known geeks.

Said The Great Luke Ski, "It is great that anyone who considers themselves a nerd or a geek or anything out of the mainstream can come out here and look around and find something that they are interested in and find some new friends and have some fun."

Besides the Great Luke Ski, the event also featured author Monte Cook, who helped designed the game "Dungeons and Dragons."
