Howl @ The Moon, PS:One Style!

It’s been a long while since we’ve done any events outside of the Pumping Station: One compound at 3354 N. Elston.

In celebration of the harvest moon, impending fall, changing of the leaves, blown capacitor banks, scorched pavement (thanks to Tim), and possible UFO sightings in the Irving Park area (not our complete fault), PS:One will be having a little get together this Friday night, October 2, at 5pm (until late) at Howl At The Moon (http://www.howlatthemoon.com/), and you’re all invited!

We have a deal with Howl At The Moon that the first 100 people to come before 7pm and tell them that they are with PS:One will get in free and have two $1 drink specials. There will be other wonderful deals all night, and you’ll have the chance to hang out with and get to know the PS:One community in a fun, informal setting.

Hope to see you all there!

When: Friday, October 2, at 5:00pm

Where: Howl At The Moon, 30 W. Hubbard St., Chicago, IL 60654

Why: To spend a fun Friday night out with the Chicago hackerspace community!

Hackathon Next Saturday!

HackathonOn Saturday, September 26th Pumping Station: One will be hosting our first official hackathon.  Dust off your neglected projects and power through the night to finish them with us!  The event starts at 8:00 PM officially and goes through the next morning.  This event is free and open to the public.

Can’t make next week?  Don’t worry, our impromptu hackathon last month was such a success that we will be having one on the 4th Saturday of every month.

Why: Because finishing projects is contagious, there will be plenty of people to bounce ideas off of, and its a great excuse to be social without having to peel your eyes off your computer screen.
