Visiting from SF

[Satiredun]

Howdy London Hackspace-
My name's Meredith, hi! I live (mostly) in San Francisco. I visited the Hackspace a few years ago. I'm coming back to England for awhile (family stuff) and would really love to meet/hang/geek out. I do a lot of fabrication and design, and also have worked a lot in soft circuits/etextiles.
I'm staying the first few days in a hostel, and then I'll be looking for a room to rent/sublet.
I arrive the 6th- anything good going on around then? Or a good time to meet and greet?
Best
Meredith

Hi Meredith!

Our weekly social evening is Tuesday so that's normally the best time to come and get to know people. Our calandar[1] has (most) of the stuff going on on it, I think that Sunday there's a boar games day planned (for example). 

Otherwise feel free to drop us a line on IRC[2] or keep chatting on here. 

Cheers

S

Hmmmm... "boar games"! ;-)

[SamLR]

Actually it's a combination of the two, you rear and train your own herd of boar to re-enact battles from the Boer war... on a board (the board has to be pretty big as boar are huge but you get the idea)

The music hackspace [1] has a couple of workshops coming up which you might be interested in.
We're doing one with mztek which is not listed yet, but it will involve wearable circuits similar to the Hacked Human Orchestra [2].
Keep an eye on the website and mailing list for more info!

cheers,
