Cowtown Computer Congress

These guys are such BAMFs. Go visit their underground lair.

Kansas City’s local hacker space is in a cave 84 feet below ground in a room numbered 404. The 1,404 square foot unit has partially exposed rock walls that harken back to a mid-​century NORAD.
When I visited for their grand opening, they held soldering classes for boy scouts, talks on hacking the Nintendo Wii, and picked all sorts of locks. There was even a guy there, that like myself had gone ahead and taken up screen printing and he was really great to talk to. The most fun part though was going dumpster diving at 3 am and bringing back a giant cable spool to be used as a table in the space. That and tagging their dry erase board just before going home for the weekend.
If you’re familiar with Hackerspaces already, then you’ve got all you need to know, but if not and you’re interested in seeing what it’s all about, you should visit their website and go to a meeting. I mean, IT’S IN A FREAKING CAVE.
