June 22nd BBQ + Weekend events.

[Tyler Worman]

The other night a few of us were discussing a AHA BBQ. Since I have a
grill and I already had suggested 2 events the weekend of June 22nd..
why don't we add a 3rd? I'd be happy to host it at my place (and
provide some of the food/bevs) or we can have it at OPS and I'll find
a way to bring the grill over to the back alley.

This would make:
June 22nd - BBQ (5:30PM - ??)
June 23rd - Digital Fabrication day @ AHOPS - Previously sent to AHASHOP list
June 24th - Board game day @ AHOPS - Previously sent to AHASHOP list

All of which could be fund raisers for the group...

What else do I need to do to get these events on the calendar for June?

Sounds great, Tyler! I'd love to do an AHA BBQ/donation drive. It would
probably make most sense to hold it at AHA if it's possible to fit the
grill in the alleyway. I'll help schlep it around if needed.

Can you elaborate on the other things so I can add them to the calendar?
I don't see any mention of them in the biglist archives.

Okay. Mark it down! It's a small propane grill but it should be enough
for a small cookout/bbq probably not too hard to get to Ops. We should
probably have a rain date also.

June 23rd - 12-8PM digital modeling fabrication day ($5pp cheap!).
      12 - 1pm - I show a quick refresh on Blender, Sketchup,
OpenSCAD, VCarve and InkScape.
      1pm- 8pm - People take the day to model some awesome stuff on
their _own_ laptops. I'll be around to help
      5pm-8pm - I'll be around to mill/laser cut or print pieces for
our normal usage costs either on our scrap or out of their material.

A nice goal would be to have 2-3 really awesome finished projects that
we can duplicate/leave in the space for showing at events. This could
also possibly produce an object using all large tools, print a block,
mill it, drill press to cut deep holes, laser engrave finished object.

June 24th - Board game day ($1-8pm, $10pp)
   - Have collection of board games I'll bring (and can teach them)
   - Might have to reorganize the tables down there a bit to
accommodate. I want to bring more people into the space who might have
tangential interests and see something else they like. At the same
time, I don't want to disturb people who would want to work or PC game
on this day.
   - Pizza for dinner included in cost.
- Run at least one of the games up on a folding table on the
sidewalk to lure people downstairs.
- Left over cash goes to AHA.

I just added the events to the allhandsactive GCal. Tyler, please take
a look and let me know if the descriptions are OK or if there's anything
to add. Josh, I'm not 100% sure what other places you add events (maybe
would be a good wiki page! How to do promotions?) -- if these
descriptions are OK and you have a moment, could you please mirror to
those places?

Cheers,
