Possibly interesting class at your friendly hackerspace across the bay. As a
bonus which may be helpful in light of current events, they will also be
demonstrating how to escape from handcuffs and flexicuffs with simple
ordinary objects. Unfortunately costs money, but some of it goes towards our
space too as a fundraiser.

You can pick your friends.
You can pick your beer.
But can you pick... a Lock?

Join us on Thursday, October 27th, from 7-9pm, as we embark on an ancient
mechanical adventure to explore the inner workings of a modern lock, first
developed by the Mesopotamians and Egyptians over 4000 years ago. Led by
lockpickers Eric Michaud and Jamie Schwettmann, this workshop will cover -
soup to nuts - everything you need to know about how common locks work...
and how to pick them open.

Whether you're a complete novice curious to find out what pin-tumbler really
means, a homeowner protecting your family's treasures, or a veteran
lockpicker with questions about advanced locks and techniques, this event is
for you! With 2 solid hours of history, mechanical diagrams ("lock pr0n"),
and hands-on lockpicking instruction... first we'll open your minds, and
then we'll open some locks!

To properly learn this ancient art, you'll need the proper tools.  By
registering for a ticket with a lockpick set, this guarantees you a seat at
the workshop, and reserves - all for you - a brand-new 10-piece custom
lockpick set by Southern Specialties, hand-picked by Eric and Jamie to
maximize utility for beginners and locksport enthusiasts alike, and offered
for only $30.

If you already have some picks you're itching to practice with, you can
bring them along, and your workshop cost is only $50!
