Awkward romance, clumsy dancing, taped glasses, and ill-fitting formal wear are just part of the festivities... we're talking about the best nerd fest in the Midwest... Geek Prom.

The somewhat formal dance for adult misfits features a lineup of popular bands, a march for the 2008 king and queen geek, a spaz dancing contest, and the gonzo gong show.

For those who were too geeky to attend their high school prom, organizers say it's a chance to finally be accepted.

For those who were too cool to properly enjoy their high school prom, it's an opportunity to finally let that inner-geek out.

The first Geek Prom was held in 2002 at the NorShor Theatre in Duluth, Minnesota.
