Table at ToneRite Concert Series

We got a lot of visitors to our table last night at the ToneRite-sponsored concert event. People launched Lego horses from Allen’s trebuchet and tested their reaction times using Clint’s Arduino-powered timer.

Everyone there was stoked to learn about Hackerspace, and we handed out around 20-30 flyers.

Thanks for helping with the table, Clint and Ian!
