[dorkbotpdx-blabber] College of Lockpicking at Backspace This Wednesday
Eric Michaud
I was made aware by a few members at Brain Silo and friends in Portland
that this would be a great list of like minded folks who love to hack
all sorts of things to know about this upcoming event.
You can pick your friends.
You can pick your beer.
But can you pick... a Lock?
Join us on on Wednesday, November 30th from 7-9pm, as we embark on an
ancient mechanical adventure to explore the inner workings of a modern
lock, first developed by the Mesopotamians and Egyptians over 4000 years
ago. Led by lockpickers Eric Michaud and Jamie Schwettmann, this
workshop will cover - soup to nuts - everything you need to know about
how common locks work... and how to pick them open.
Whether you're a complete novice curious to find out what pin-tumbler
really means, a homeowner protecting your family's treasures, or a
veteran lockpicker with questions about advanced locks and techniques,
this event is for you! With 2 solid hours of history, mechanical
diagrams ("lock pr0n"), and hands-on lockpicking instruction... first
we'll open your minds, and then we'll open some locks!
To properly learn this ancient art, you'll need the proper tools. By
registering for a ticket with a lockpick set, this guarantees you a seat
at the workshop, and reserves - all for you - a brand-new 10-piece
custom lockpick set by Southern Specialties, hand-picked by Eric and
Jamie to maximize utility for beginners and locksport enthusiasts alike,
and offered for only $30.
If you already have some picks you're itching to practice with, you can
bring them along, and your workshop cost is only $40!
BONUS: BrainSilo members get $10 off a ticket! (Visit the BrainSilo or
the member mailing list to get the discount code) AND... we will
contribute to BrainSilo a percentage of ticket sales equal to the number
of BrainSilo members and friends in attendence! How cool is that?! :)
See ya there!
- Eric.

Are you sure you want to do this on Wednesday? That is conflicting with
Dorkbot's night at OMSI's night out.

anyway.
Any chance of this occurring again?
any suggestions about where to get a lock pick set and a
recommendation on book learnin' I've got a young friend who needs some
good healthy corruption and it is either this or throwing knives (he's
10 and really enjoyed my throwing knives, maybe a bit too much)
I'd sure like to attend, but was unable last time.
Thanks.
