**What is Geeks & Drinks?**
Geeks and Drinks is San Antonio’s Largest Developer Meetup! Our goal is to create a safe and inclusive space for developers and geeks to share ideas, get inspired and build community. We do this by creating and hosting events that are both social and educational.

Co-Founders Monty Morgan and Sharon Gutierrez started Geeks & Drinks in 2021 when they moved to San Antonio and wanted to connect with like minded people. Our mission is to have a safe and inclusive space for everyone to hang out and talk about the geeky stuff.
Our monthly meetup is on the first Wednesday of each month and we hold pop-up events throughout the year!

Geeks & Drinks: Monthly Pub Run

School's almost back in session. Come stretch your knowledge and maybe help teach somebody new, too!

Like puzzles? We bring a few and share a brew! Show off some other tools too like the Flipper Zero, dimple picks, and bypass tools you can use to grow a new skill.

**Who we are and why we do this.**
We desire to bring together anyone with an interest in the basic ways that we secure ourselves...while identifying and exploiting the weaknesses thereof. We do this to better understand how to safeguard and protect ourselves and others.

**Don't have any lockpicks?**
Come anyway! We have a variety of shared tools provided for new learners. We also love to show off and share our own tools. Still not good enough? We also will be selling Beginner pick kits and cases for you to go home with.

August Meetup for Alamo City Locksport

Join us for our monthly meetup! The meetup will take place in the [PyTexas Discord server](https://discord.gg/jNPAbcNukj), so be sure to join!

This month we are excited to be joined by *Marissa Skudlarek*: Senior Software Engineer and accomplished playwright.
**Speaker: Marissa Skudlarek**
**Topic:** Two Kinds of Scripting: What Writing Plays Has Taught Me About Writing Python Programs

It’s a set of instructions, describing a series of actions to be taken or events that should happen. It’s written with specialized syntax and formatting. You want it to be efficient; you don’t want it to bog down. It doesn’t reach its full potential until you run through it, start to finish, without error.

Am I talking about a play script, or a Python program?

"Two Kinds of Scripting" explores the surprising and thought-provoking connections between writing code and writing plays, from the perspective of a Bay Area software engineer with a degree in drama from a liberal arts college and two decades of playwriting experience. It will discuss how structuring and plotting a play is like structuring a computer program; the way that a knowledge of Method Acting can help you figure out to name your Python methods; and how stage directions are just as controversial among theater folks as code comments are among engineers. Finally, the talk will discuss some things that playwrights could learn from the engineering world, including version control and better feedback "debugging" techniques.

PyTexas August Meetup: Two Kinds of Scripting: Plays and Python

To all you Geeks! This is a monthly opportunity for programmers, developers and web techies in the San Antonio area to get out and socialize! No formal agenda, let’s talk about your current projects, coding issues, wins and anything else!

Co-Founders Monty Morgan and Sharon Gutierrez started Geeks & Drinks in 2021 when they moved to San Antonio and wanted to connect with like minded people. Our mission is to have a safe and inclusive space for everyone to hang out and talk about the geeky stuff.

The event will be hosted at Pinkertons on the first Wednesday of every month. The event will be hosted in person as long as it is safe to do so.

**Thank you to Geekdom for sponsoring drink tickets for the first 30 attendees!**

**Food:** If you are planning to grab dinner at Pinkertons it gets super busy after 5:30 so I would show up a little early so you don't have to wait in line. There are usually a few early arrivals on the patio to hang out with!

**Parking**: Pinkertons does validate if your purchase food or drink there. From their [website](https://pinkertonsbarbecue.com/location/san-antonio/#location-parking): FREE PARKING LOCATIONS: Rand Garage: 129 Soledad & Surface Lot @ 225 W Travis Street (PLEASE REMEMBER TO ADD THE W IN FRONT OF TRAVIS) – Grab a ticket and ask the cashier inside for a validation ticket.
