SHHH: Super Happy Hacker House 37! - November 28, Saturday

What
Open House (Noon – 5pm)
Never been to a hack space before? Dying to see the VHS space? This is the perfect time to visit! VHS members will give you a tour around the space, show off some cool projects, and answer any questions you have. Many of our members share an interest in 3D printers, laser cutting, machining, crafting, electronics, robotics, programming, electronic music, and art. We welcome enthusiastic amateurs, or anyone with something interesting to share! A BBQ will available on VHS’ roof patio, so you can bring your own grillables.

Show and Tell (All day)
Have you made something amazing? Are you in the process of building something that will become amazing? Are you just starting out and want to talk to people about your amazing idea? Come down to VHS and tell us about it. Bring your projects!

Super Happy Hacker House (7:30pm – Late)
Super Happy Hacker House (SHHH) is a social night where members, friends and guests gather for a social night of conversation, adult beverages, lightning talks, and super happy hacker games.

Lightning talks – (11PM).
A lightning talk is VHS’ version of an un-conference, where people do short presentation on any subject that they want. Unlike other presentations at conferences, lightning talks last only a few minutes (2 min or less) and friendly heckling is encouraged.

Our sponsor has donated beer for the event, which will be available after 7:30pm.
Remember to BRING YOUR OWN CUP if you want to drink beverages at the space.

Read a great Georgia Straight article about one of our previous open houses/SHHH!

Anyone have a Serving it right (SIR) or Special Event Server (SES) licence ?

Q. What is the difference between Serving It Right and the Special Event Server course?
A. The Special Event Server course is an abridged version of Serving It Right with content specifically for serving alcohol at Special Occasion Licensed events in British Columbia. It is intended for servers and bartenders at events of any size along with managers and Special Occasion Licence holders for events with less than 500 attendees. For all others serving alcohol in the province of British Columbia, Serving It Right remains the required certificate.

I am hoping to find 4 people that would like to help distribute the beer at SHHH, Any volunteers?
Please keep this thread on topic, if you have an unrelated question, ask it in a new thread.

I was able to get my SES licence with an hour of going thought their tutorials, and example quiz then taking a $20 exam fee.

Looking for volunteers
We are still looking for people to help server the beer. Since we have a licence this time around we need to have people checking IDs of people that are drinking. I am hoping for 4-5 people each doing a one hour shift from 8pm onward.

Bring your IDs
Because we have a liquor licence we will need people to bring their IDs to prove that they are of age. Even if you are not drinking from the keg, you still need your ID to drink alcohol at VHS during SHHH.

Bring a Cup!
VHS does not provide cups, Bring your own cup. Extra geek points for the best cup.

Challenge coins.
@miststlkr has volunteered to make the challenge coins for this SHHH.

We are going to do something a little different this time around. We are making 15 challenge coins, the same amount we make for every SHHH. The challenge coins will be given to people that brings projects to show people at SHHH first. These projects can be physical or virtual (such as NOMOS, etc… ) as long as you can show other people. If there are any coins left afterwards we will give them out at the lighting talks by applause.

Lighting talks.
Yes, we are still doing lightning talks. 90 second talks on what ever you like.
