[Vanhackspace] El wire hack night II - The sequel

[Jenny]

Hey y'all,

Next Tuesday, August 3rd, we'll be doing the second el wire hack
night.  For those who missed it, the first one was a blast.

Why learn to work with el wire?  First, because el wire is just plain
sexy (see: http://hacknmod.com/hack/create-oustanding-lighting-effects-el-wire/
).  Second, for those coming to Burning Man this year, making some el
wire gear is a great way to avoid spending your playa nights as a
darkwad, also known as speed bump, or roadkill.  Same logic also
applies to anyone who rides a bike in Vancouver between, say, October
and March.

El wire hack night isn't a formal workshop, but there will be
experienced el wirers on hand to help with any questions, plus an
assortment of el wire projects for inspiration. If you already have
something el wired to show off, by all means bring it. Other shiny and
blinky things are also welcome, even if they're not el wire based.

BYO el wire, drivers, and any other paraphernalia your project
requires. You can also bring just yourself if you're interested in
seeing what others are up to.

El wire and drivers can be found at Lee's Electronics on Main st, or
bought from coolneon.com (based in California, but ship to Canada.
Very knowledgeable and great to deal with) or seattlelumin.com (based
in Seattle, ships to Canada.  Haven't dealt with them personally.)
