   Dinner: La Luz, 7pm
   Meeting: 311 South College Ave, 8pm

This Tuesday from 8pm to 11pm we will be having another installment of the
Hacking Society.  At 7pm we'll be gathering at a restaurant for dinner,
then heading over to the normal place at 8pm for the main event.

Dinner will be at 7pm at La Luz Mexican Grill.  La Luz is at 200 Walnut
street, just east of the intersection of College and Walnut and Laporte and
Pine.  It's that funky intersection at the north end of Old Town, right by
the Northern Hotel, the Silver Grill, etc...

The main meeting is in the Exasource conference room in the JYM-IS
building at 311 South College, across the street from the north Perkins.
It's in the back of the Aggie Travel parking lot.

The goal of the Hacking Society is to foster geek community-building
through the shared experience of hacking. Of course, by "hacking",
I mean the more historic meaning of working on interesting projects
(Jargon File "hack" entry, sense 6). Not the "script kiddies trying to
compromise boxes" meaning which has become what most people think of in
relation to the term.

It's meant to be a sacred place full of positive hacking energy, if you
will.  Hacking by osmosis...

Hacking Society is primarily meant for you to come and work on your own
projects, as opposed to soliciting others to solve your problems (which is
usually more what goes on at an Install Fest or at the main NCLUG
meetings).

work on there, can be found at:
