Dear all,<br><br>Apologies for the spam, but I know more than one person at NCAR who would find this kind of event cool. :-) Thus I am circulating the announcement widely!<br><br>Enjoy,<br>Vanessa<br><br><p style="text-align:left" align="center">
==Description==<br></p><p style="text-align:left" align="center">Do you have a MacGyver-like
penchant for creating art and science projects out of LEDs, beer
bottles, and rubber bands? Can someone look at your photography or
paintings and instantly tell that you were a child of the 80s? Do things
that glow in the dark, light up, shoot electricity, and scare your
neighbors titillate your senses? Does the macabre spectacle of a circus
sideshow entice you? If so, denhac has an event for you…</p>
<p>denhac, the Denver Hackerspace, is sponsoring GeekShow – a geek/nerd
art, music, and variety act extravaganza held at 3 Kings Tavern. Entries
should be geared towards a techie/nerd/geek/steampunk/circus/carnival
theme. Music and some variety acts will be performing upstairs, while
art/crafts and additional variety acts will be downstairs. If you wish
to display your artwork without representing it in person, it can be
hung up on the ample wall space downstairs in advance, providing that it
has the proper hardware for hanging. You can also show your artwork at a
table.</p>
<p>denhac is a non-profit hackerspace founded in 2008. Err, wait, what’s a hackerspace?</p>
<p>Hackerspaces are simply places for people to learn, work on technical
projects, socialize, and collaborate. denhac offers a community space
for classes and events, ranging from lock picking to information
security, to hardware hacking. Proceeds from the event will benefit
future community events and classes.</p>==Venue==<br><strong><br><a href="http://www.3kingstavern.com/"><font></font>3 Kings Tavern</a></strong> <strong><font><br></font>60 S. Broadway, Denver, CO 80209</strong> <font><strong><br>
