A few friends and I are trying to (hopefully) get a TOOOL chapter going in the CSRA. If anyone here is interested, please shoot me a PM and I'll add you to my list of people to contact for our first meeting!
Haha, thanks Squelchtone! We had a Bsides conference last weekend and had an amazing turnout, which in turn gave us the chance to show almost 1000 people what lockpicking and locksport were about. Lots of people were interested and I think if we could get a committed group in the area then we could really grow.
Just an update on our group here. We had our monthly meeting last night with an amazing turnout! Normally I just get a handful of people but we are teaming up with a local infosec group and we had 20+ people show up last night. Many of them were brand new to picking but were really excited about learning. Can't wait for next month!
