Scuff Queer Country Dancing

Every Tuesday at 9pm, Red Eye NY becomes headquarters for the queer gaming and geek community. Hosted by Charles Nordquist and brought to you by GeeksOut, this weekly gathering celebrates all things pop culture, gaming, and comic book fandom with a queer twist — think a rotating Tournament of Gaymers, a D&D Division for campaign nights, and a Comic Book Club for people who actually read them. No cover, high energy, and a Discord community already waiting. Just show up and find your people.
