HacDC - Intro to Locksport & Beyond

Since no one else has posted this, I think I will. I'm excited to go!! Hope we get to see many LP101'ers

Site: http://hacdc.org/content/intro-locksport-beyond
Date: September 11th 2010
Time: 2:00pm - 6:00pm
Location:1525 Newton St NW, Washington DC 20010 (Check the site for directions)

Schuyler Towne (A two time American lock picking champion of Open Locksport will be coming to HacDC to teach DC about the world of locksport. In a city where secrets are at a premium, Schuyler will be joining us to dispel myths about the legality of lock picking and the ease of doing it. In addition, we are proud to host Schuyler as he shares the progress of Open Locksport and what can be expected of it in the coming months.

General topics will include:

Lock Picking
Lock Bumping
Basic Forensics
Speed Picking
Much More!

The class will be scheduled as Lecture w/ Q/A session and hands on demos instructing individuals on the intricacies of lock picking. All required tools will be provided and HacDC will be subsequently maintaining a lock library for continued exploration. Highly recommended for individuals wanting to demystify locks and physical security.

For the record I didn't write the blurb! :)

Should be a good time. I just picked up a bunch of locks from our local hackerspace to bring down there. I'll be leaving behind 35-50 locks and whole bunch of picks and tension wrenches to kickstart HacDC's lock library. I'm pretty excited to check the space out. A few hours after the workshop, Jason Scott will be showing Get Lamp, his new documentary, which should also be awesome. I've seen it twice already, but will likely stick around for a 3rd viewing.

Stoked!
