GAAM stands for Games Art And Music. Once a year we do a big show, that are nightlife events modeled after art shows and after parties. There’s video game stations, cosplay, live art auction where the bidders get roasted, video game themed art installations, video game tournaments, prizes, drinking, dancing, break dancing, video game art, martial arts, and more!
