Eating contests, calculator counters, and plane rides with Einstein impersonators are all wrapped up in one big celebration that aims to become a tradition, dubbed “Geek Freak” Weekend. The four-day event starts Friday and culminates on March 14, the date of Albert Einstein’s birth -- designated as “Pi Day,” based on the mathematical number pi, whose digits mirror the date (3.14).
