[Noisebridge-discuss] Notacon!

[aestetix aestetix]

Figured I should chime in on this.

I've been to Notacon five times (missed the first year for personal
reasons). You should all have a little background:

Froggy and Tyger, the founders, created Notacon because they wanted a
conference that worked to embrace technology and arts. Not only are they
heavily involved in the "hacking" scene (I've run into them at HOPE, DefCon,
Toorcamp, Shmoocon, etc), but they're also former ravers, and have been to
Burning Man. They fucking rock.

The first year I went, the most common phrase going around was "This is what
it was like at DefCon 2." One year I went, someone created a hookah bar in
his hotel room, just to get people to come in and chat with him. Another
year, we experimented with dry ice vodka.... which didn't work as well as
we'd hoped, but it was lots of fun. Lots of good stories, some I will only
share privately ;)
