tl;dr: Go Vote! Next meetup 11/5 @ New City Brewery w/casual locksport, no Open Studio presence due to insurance delays

Hi all! I’m sure you don’t need a reminder, but go vote on Tuesday 11/5! Then come out to New City Brewery from 6-9 for some good conversation, tasty drinks, and casual lockpicking. It’s a great way to relax and refocus, gives your hands something else to do besides doomscrolling, and can be a lot of fun too. I’ll bring along a variety of locks to try out, along with plenty of picks and related tools, as well as clear practice locks and a 3d printed mechanism to demonstrate how picking works. Not interested in lockpicking and just want to hang out? That’s good too! Hope to see you there!

Unfortunately, due to some delays in the process of getting insurance, we’re not going to be able to have a presence this weekend at the Eastworks Open Studio. It was definitely a bit of a last minute plan that required lots of pieces to fall into place, and needless to say, some of those pieces are still missing. But we are still working on moving forwards with the space there, so stay tuned to the newsletter for updates in the near future!

Be safe and keep making things!
