One of the best parts of a conference is the alternative fun stuff that you get to enjoy with your fellow geeks.  

We've started pulling together a list of some fun extras ideas for OSbridge010 including:

* Tattoo Bar
* Massages
* Bike Rental/Bike Rides
* Bad movie night
* Yoga and fitness breaks

Anyone have additional ideas?  If you can come up with a sponsor and and want to help organize that would also be great!

These are, of course, separate from that 24 hour circus of fun called the Hackers Lounge.

1. Karaoke!
2. Karaoke!
3. Design-a-programming-language contest!

Speaking of the hacker lounge, has a location been picked yet? In a
hotel again?

June 3rd is 1st Thursday in the Pearl District. Gallerys and businesses are open late in the Pearl. There are street musicians and an outdoor art fair. Quite a few businesses and gallerys have wine and munchies.

Fluxx (card game) tournament.

If your going to have bad movies, I vote for bad sci-fi or monster movies.

* Curses (also card game) untournament (you can't really win, it's
mostly who passes out last from laughing).
* Chair races
* Build a wireless mesh system that can stand the load of conferences
so we don't need hundreds of AP's
* Write a love letter to your favorite OS project
* Invite FreeGeek and see if we can help them build some systems or at
least spread the word about them
* Lego room (I have a 50lb tub of legos that I would be willing to loan)
* Squid room (room where little kids can congregate and pass out after
a long day. Is usually easy to get the parents to watch over the room
in shifts, all we need is a pile of pillows about 8 feet high so we
can just chuck the little bastards in)

* Rock Band (much better than Karaoke)
