New Hacker Space Opening Party

[Patrick McCarthy]

Saturday, July 12th, 6:00 PM

Edgewater Workbench Opening Party

1130 W Thorndale Ave, Chicago, Illinois 60660 (map)

(1/2 block west of the Thorndale Red Line stop)

Yet another maker space has opened up (this time around the corner from my apartment) and well, gosh darn it -- I couldn't be happier! I've met the organizers -- they're legit and super nice. They have some pretty sweet machines too.

This Saturday stop by the new Edgewater Workbench and congratulate Lou, Ally, and Molly on their vision by visiting their new space. Meet (and re-meet) fellow makers, teachers, hackers, and students while checking out EW's 3D printing and laser cutting demonstrations, some games, a fully stocked retail boutique with locally crafted handmade goods, and art.

Plus great food and drinks!
