This event is hosted at Noisebridge, a leftist/anarchist tech collective located on the 3rd floor of 2169 Mission St.

Within Noisebridge we will meet in the Hackitorium, the big open space immediately to your right as you walk in.

This event technically begins at 6pm but we will give people a few extra minutes to arrive & truly begin around 6:15pm.

See you there!
