Geek Girl Dinner # 5 a huge success - go girl gamers!





On the 30th of April we hosted our 5th Brisbane GGD at the Microsoft offices in the city. Was so much fun to play games against other tech girls, and about 50 people attended. Huge thanks to Bronwen for doing most of the organising this time around (so little time at the moment with writing up my PhD) and to everyone who helped to make the night a success. Bronwen has a great blog post here which thanks everyone that needs to be, and gives a great recap of the night.

A few pics of me and Anitza, us tech girls from the book playing our hearts out! :)
