June 28, 2013, 9:47 AM — We've got a special "double episode" of Geekend - with many people off next week due to the Fourth of July holiday falling on a Thursday, we are covering the next two weekends with geeky weekend suggestions covering movies, barbecues and local carnivals.

Will Minions dominate the July 4 box office? Does anyone really remember The Lone Ranger TV show? Is the water gun carnival game fixed? Is there a cool way to wear a BBQ apron? Find answers to these and other burning questions in the weekly episode of Geekend, presented here:
