Brixton hackspace

[colacubes]

You'll need a lot of cling film I may well toddle along to this as my other half is, so if I do you can wrap me up

 

[Boudicca]

Ooh good! There may be an outfit in it for you.

 

[lefteri]

Hi there, am interesting in getting involved and have joined the mailing list but obviously have lots of questions as to what shape this will take - is this the best place for those questions? will this take place regularly on thursday nights from now on?

 

[Boudicca]

Re the Dogstar, last time I was there, the lighting was non-existent and made it very difficult to see what you were doing. So we may need to bring our own.

 

[Thimble Queen]

I want to make stuff too

 

[TheHypnotist]

can anyone confirm if the dogstar is booked for /this/ thursday?

 

[Crispy]

No it's not. Already booked by others afaik

 

[Boudicca]

So no venue at the moment? Any other options? Would the gentleman from Brixton East let us use his place? I did go down to check it out but it was closed and there were no contact details in the window.

 

[editor]

I'm on the case!
Brixton East is a good call too although it's a very large space - I have the guy's contact details.

 

[RaverDrew]

Is this like a boys version of Urban craft club ?

<legs it>

 

[wemakeyousoundb]

Oh Hai !

Was really good to meet you guys last night, yes I vote get it booked up - ohhhh looks like a community is forming

I'm interested in fielding what kind of things I could help by bringing along and also hoping that people have random electronic junk they can bring in that we can rip apart / hack.

My name is Morris, I was the fat dude at the front preaching about how London Hackspace is awesome - warts and all.

might well be able to help with electronic junk, any type in particular you're after?
also, would this be take apart and rebuild or make totally different stuff with?

Thursday 7pm upstairs at the 414 Club it is then.

 

[editor]

I think Eme will be able to come along too.

Are you definitely coming? I have a catering roll of cling film ....

 

[wemakeyousoundb]

[colacubes]

Yes

 

[lefteri]

I couldn't make last night as it was the other half's birthday - will this be a regular weekly occurrence? If so I will set aside next thursday

 

[Boudicca]

Just bumping this as I see no-one replied to lefteri. 7:30 tonight in the Dogstar.

 

[Crispy]

See you all there

 

[Biddlybee]

[Crispy]

It's craft club, basically

 

[Biddlybee]

I thought maybe it was because if it was called Hackspace, everyone would think it was the one in Hackney...

Biddly - you are VERY welcome to come and be wrapped in clingfilm.

[Biddlybee]

Not sure if I want to be wrapped in cling film I want to make other stuff though

[Crispy]

Makerspace then?

tinkering (present participle of tin·ker) Verb: Attempt to repair or improve something in a casual or desultory way, often to no useful effect.

Not what it's about!

 

[Biddlybee]

there's a hackspace in Bristol too though, don't think people would think it was in Hackney.

 

[Crispy]

It's a common word, although the word "hack" has negative connotations for some (which is why the people who chose "tinker" didn't choose it). I think I prefer "make" as it covers everything.

 

[TruXta]

Maker is the word, aye.
