[757labs] Hi everyone!

[Bad Kobold]

Lee,

Welcome to the newsgroup, and our creative group! Usually, there are people
around during the weekends at the 757Labs.

If you check the website: http://757labs.org/

There is a calendar of events posted (on the right-hand column). The Open
Hack nights are a good mix of characters.

See you around the Lab sometime~


-BK-


Also, unless Hell freezes, I will be there on Friday night.
