Reddit followers will probably recognize the importance of this event. A movie, once thought lost forever in some studio’s vault, has finally been reclaimed by the general public through a desperate redditor request. Produced for Nickelodean viewers, the film was deemed “too scary” for children and yanked from the airwaves after only run. However, now that we are all adults, we should be able to handle it!

Bring your own whatever and be at the shop at 9:00pm on Friday, Mog-gust 19!

It’s that time of year again! Retro Game and Computing Night 2011 is upon us. We have raised the games and system limits up a bit this year. We are allowing all games and systems released pre-2000.  Though that isn’t entirely true, Duke Nukem Forever has been grandfathered in for obvious reasons.

There will be all kinds of systems and games, SNES, SEGA, NES, GameBoy, Atari, as well as Amigas and other computers.  We may even have a LAN setup for old school games like Duke Nukem 3D and Starcraft.  We will also have the grill going and a keg chilling.  Feel free to bring your own systems and/or games and food to share.

Please come join us, play some games, meet new people and see our new space.  Also, remember your donations will help us continue to do events like these.

Come one, come all.
See the wonders of ancient 3D printers unearthed at the Makers Local 256!
Be amazed by a printing technology unseen since nineteen hundred and ninety seven A.D.!
Marvel at the rugged construction that can be left in a barn for nearly 15 years!
Gasp as this once dormant design device springs to life, fresh from the packaging*
See it live tonight only! (videos posted later this week)

Today, May 16th, After our regular monthly meeting, We will be throwing a little party to celebrate unboxing of a BPM 2100 Personal Modeler that we received last week, still in it’s original shipping create. Meeting starts at 7:30pm, the event will be directly after the meeting finishes. Drink a beer, reminisce about the 90’s, and talk 3D printers until we get tired and go home. (some of us have to work in the morning, I know.)

Moe is waiting to be unpacked, Curly's broken, but it's ok, Shemp can step up to keep things running.

*This printer is not guaranteed functional or “fresh”. Packaging is open to the elements. Frankly it’s a long shot, but hey, we’ve got ~4 of these puppies, and we can probably get one of them moving again that night.

Oh, and by the way… We have moved and will hold the meeting and the party at the new shop:
414 Stevens Ave.
