Black Ice Comics & Books, located in Houghton, Michigan. Patricia, originally from L’Anse, MI, is an accomplished actor/voice actor doing voice
and motion capture for several video games including Zelda: Breath of the Wild (worldwide 2017 Game of the Year),

they love, they decided to create GeekU.P.! This is the 5th year of this popular event and it continues to grow.
