NYC Resistor Interactive Show on May 7th
NYCR will be hosting our super duper Interactive Show. The theme this year is ANYTHING INTERACTIVE. That’s right, ANYTHING… INTERACTIVE. That includes people, peoples! Music? Yeah, we got it. Blinking lights? hello? c’mon, you know we got that covered! Stabby things? Why do you think we have an 18+ policy?
So come and be creative, come and grab a drink, come and meet the Resistors. Screw it, it’s a Saturday night and we like to have an excuse for a blow out kind of party so just come! $10 tickets in advance, $15 tickets at the door.

Help NESIT Build an Alarm System
NESIT (New England Society of Information and Technology) in Meriden, CT, is organizing a Pledgie campaign to help finance an alarm system for the space.
As many of you know NESIT was recently burglarized resulting in many items belonging to NESIT and members being stolen. To help prevent this from ever happening again we would like to raise funds to purchase the most advanced state of the art alarm system we can afford. Your donation will directly support this cause and any funds collected will go toward this goal.
Are you a hackerspace member with an event you’d like to publicize? Send it to johnb@makezine.com or tweet me at @johnbaichtal and I’ll post it. Also feel free to subscribe to my hackerspaces Twitter list. Hackerspace Happenings will run weekly Tuesdays, and the next one will come out May 10th.
