time and space: found.

hey folks, i've haven't been about on here recently as life got a little hectic (buying a house, getting laid off, launching a non-profit, etc etc) but long story short, i'm on the board of twin cities maker(www.tcmaker.org), the local hacker/makerspace and we've got a few members who do locksport, and figured it was about time we did something about it.

i've got permission to launch a monthly open locksport night. i'm thinking tuesday evenings maybe the last tuesday of the month, or the 2nd tuesday. thoughts?

:oops: Hey unjust, I just found this thread, and look who started it? I vaguely remember that now, but don't expect me to remember everything,

Tuesday would work for me. or if another day turns out to be the better one, that would work too.

Im ready to join that space now anyway.

lets do it.

There is an Open Locksport meeting Tuesday the 3rd of May at the TCmaker.org Hack Factory in Minneapolis from 7pm-9pm. The address is listed on the website.

Myself and Raimundo plan to be there and would like to see other people in the Minneapolis area attend if they can.

I live in St. Paul myself, I'd definitely enjoy getting together with fellow pickers, I'm completely new to this hobby and would really like some people with the same interest to converse with. My first set of schlage locks will be here this weekend, and I already have a nice novice pick set, so I'm sure you lot will be seeing a lot of me on the forums :)

Glad to see so many fellow twins cities pickers here with me! :D

I live in Austin, Mn.
Just joined, total novice. Made a pick and a tensioning tool yesterday. Picked a couple of my old Masterlocks. I think I am going to enjoy the challenge of this. I would definitely try to come to a gathering if I was not already committed to something else.

I really need to dig back into lp101 more.... I keep forgetting to mention this:

As an ongoing event on the first Tuesday of every month Twin Cities Maker hosts an Open Locksport night, from 7 to 9pm at the Hack Factory. No big plans or anything formal, just chat, pick, share, hopefully learn something new. Open Locksport is open to the public, you don't need to be a member of TC Maker to attend.

3119 E 26th St in the Seward neighborhood of Minneapolis.

Hey, sounds great.

I am running a local lock sport club in Morris, MN through April. If anyone wants details, reply to this thread (so I get an email notification, I don't sign in much anymore).

Morris is a bit of a hike for me, but if the day is right I might run up there.
