Geeked Up: A Nerd Night Out!

Anime, gaming & nerd culture meet nightlife. DJs, cosplay, games, themed drinks & more. Escape reality with us at GEEKED UP. GEEKED UP is anime, gaming, nerd culture, and nightlife in the same room. On Saturday, November 21, ERT takes over the Paradise Room at The Yost Theater for a night built for people who grew up on anime, games, cartoons, comics, internet culture, and way too many late-night playlists. Expect hip-hop, reggaeton, R&B, Top 40, anime themes, gaming remixes, throwbacks, and nerdy anthems mixed into a real open-format party. But Geeked Up isn’t just six hours of standing around waiting for the DJ to play something you recognize. Come early for trivia, games, drinks, and meeting people. Pick a side in fandom debates, enter the cosplay contest, grab one of our themed cocktails, then watch the room shift into a full dance party as the night goes on. Cosplay is encouraged, but absolutely not required. Whether you’re the person who shows up fully committed to a character or somebody who just wants to hear Creepy Nutz mix into Bad Bunny at midnight, you’re welcome here.
