Come learn how to pick locks with us! We'll walk you through the basics and help you understand how locks only keep honest people out and why you should avoid cheap padlocks to keep your things secure.
Lockpicking usually gets a bad rap, congering images of criminals and illicit activity. We're here to show you that picking locks can be a fun and educational (and legal!) hobby!

Bring your laptop! Hack on some code! Build something cool! Open Hack Night is the perfect place to get started on that great new idea or brush the dust off that old side project that's been sitting on the shelf.

Calling all crafters! Grab your needles, hooks, yarn, and thread, and join us for an evening with friends who knit, embroider, or crochet. Wine is usually available (for those 21+, obviously), but partaking is not a requirement.
There is no formal instruction or structure to this meetup, but there are sure to be people willing to help guide you on your project. Take a seat, take a sip, make a stitch, and exchange some tips!
