Hacklab.to is turning 15!

by on Jul.26, 2023, under Announcements

Waayy back in in August 2008 a few kids with a dream decided to come together and create a space free from all the ills of the world. That failed, so they created Hacklab.to instead.

Come out on August 19th 2023 from 5-11PM and celebrate the anniversary of that fateful day. We’ll spend a few hours of eating and telling tales and history, and then another few hours of partying to some serious dance music.

No tickets, $10 pwyc donation recommended for dinner, BYOBB.

Feel free to RSVP at Eventbrite.
