Only geeks invited to special prom

DULUTH, Minn. -- If you play lots of video games and are frequently taunted as a "spaz," a new prom may be just for you.

The inaugural Geek Prom was planned for Saturday at Duluth's NorShor Theater.

"We're not covering anything up," organizer Paul Lundgren said.

"It's spastic fits of clumsy dancing."

The theme of the Geek Prom is "We are through being cool."

"No matter how much of a geek you are, there will be someone there who is a bigger geek than you," he said. "Unless you end up being King or Queen Geek. And to be the best at anything, that can't be bad, can it?"

And Lundgren said it's not a slam against geeks. Everyone's a geek in some way, he said, including himself.
