[Vanhackspace] Fwd: Junk Yard Wars this October!

[dan anderson]

Oh, I didn't realize there was a website. Yup, that link's the one,
though the site seems poorly maintained (the last 2 years' events
aren't listed). This is not 'the' JYW, but it is a lot of fun, and the
occasional film crew has shown up in the past. If you want more info
specific to this year, I would email Charlie
(charliebrinson at gmail.com) who is one of the organizers. If you have
reasonably simple questions I might be able to answer them; I've
competed twice but am not involved in the organization of the event.

Also of note is the fact that they're probably looking for judges; if
one's interest is piqued but not enough to commit the entry fee and a
full weekend, one could offer to judge.

Cheers,
-Dan
