Meeting prep…

You’re doing a great job with your RSVPs so far.  I’ve got 8 members coming to the first meeting last time I looked.  If you haven’t RSVPd, and you plan to come, you should probably RSVP via Meetup (or directly if you don’t use Meetup), because the room doesn’t have unlimited capacity. Also helps for planning.  Also, we’re still not listed on the official Defcon groups page. When that happens, a few more slots may fill up.

I should mention that there will be swag.

I expect there will also be a lockpicking station. Maybe a Proxmark to play with.  

If anyone is interested in helping behind the scenes, let’s meet up before the meeting, I’d love to hear your ideas.

Also, please take the poll I posted a few days ago if you haven’t already.  It will help guide meeting content.

Status update

Three weeks and one day until the first meet, and we’re up to twenty in the Meetup group, and eight have RSVPd for the first meeting.  The room has a capacity of 25, so that’s working out well.

Drink all the Booze, Hack all the Things!

Well, that’s interesting.  Reading the fine print of the library agreement.  The library allows alcohol in its meeting rooms.  HOWEVER, and it’s a big however, even if it’s BYOB, it’s only allowed with a state permit.  So from my brief research, a $55 “Banquet” license would allow us to either BYOB at the meetings (YES, it would feel gloriously naughty to drink beer in the LIBRARY) or to actually sell beer & wine.  I’d be curious if anyone in this group thinks that’d be worth pursuing.

Tell you what… Get your company to sponsor the meetup for $150 and I’ll get the license and bring quality beers for everyone who’s legal.
