Geek Events: 2014 Edition

Isn't is weird how geeks are 'in' now? Growing up, I was an undisputed geek, obsessed with Star Wars, Star Trek, Babylon 5, X-Files, comic books, video games... yet, somehow I was not a popular girl because of it. Times have really changed as certain things that were once considered 'uncool' have been rebooted to evolved to have mainstream appeal. You only have to look at the state of DC and Marvel, or game franchises  like Call of Duty or GTA, to realize how much things have really changed.

But unlike many others who share my badge as an authentic nerd, I am not annoyed by this. On the contrary, I think it is fantastic that the things I loved have caught the attention of the masses. That doesn't mean those of us who have always preferred to nerd-out don't deserve some places to do it with others of our kind.

This is where geek events come in. Conferences, conventions, meetups... there are a lot of them, and the truly dedicated should have at least one on their list this year.

But the verification process for those businesses can be a bit shady. Anyone can be on the other side of a computer, and we hear about scams every day. Some companies manage to stay up for years, despite hundreds of claims of wrongdoing and dishonest practices. You want to verify business information before you settle on any plans.

The good news is that it is easy to do that. Here are seven sites to help you out.
