We’re shifting the general meeting by a week, since the next one would fall on Labor Day, and we don’t want to interfere with the long weekend.
The next meeting will be on September 13th, at 6:30pm.
The main topic of discussion will be classes to be held at the space.
We’ve got a preliminary list of classes we’re planning on offering, but we’d love other suggestions, so come on out on the 13th and give us your input!
Starting tomorrow, this Tuesday, August 24th, we’ll be doing mini-Hackathons at Workshop 88 from 6:30pm through to later in the night. We’ve got Adam, Fredo, Rudy, Jim, and me dedicated to coming out and getting some work at the workshop done tomorrow, and maybe we’ll have time some other fun stuff, too!
Hope to see you out there.

This and every Thursday is Game Night at Workshop88.
Last week we welcomed three awesome TVs, we got to lounge and enjoy some fight games on a massive 36 in TV. And we got to witness the first Munchkin draw on record.
Stop by and show us your games. The event is open to the public, but that might change soon.
6:30 at Workshop88 HQ in Downtown Glen Ellyn.

Last week D&D dominated the space with the medialab being used for the recording of the Film Yarn Podcast. And our awesome comfy leather couches were used for a vicious game of Munchkin.
This week will see the generous donation from College of DuPage of three big TVs to incorporate to the vintage video game corner (which will see a replay of the PlayStation classic Simpsons Wrestling) and perhaps to see a movie or TV show.
Come visit us and bring your games! this event is open to the public.

Nothing screams summer like a good ol’ neighborhood festival, and nothing says “end of Summer” to me more than Naperville’s annual Veggie Fest.
Hosted at the Science of Spirituality Temple in Naperville Road, the organizers claim is the biggest free vegetarian food festival in the United States. They offer cooking workshops, live music, and vendors from all over the country.
You should definitely give it a look, I’ll be going both days, so if you want to hang out there or afterwards, email me at acastil@workshop88.com
Veggie Fest: August 7 & 8 11AM – 8 and 7 PM

After a lot of wall scraping on Saturday (wherein Andrew and I tackled the spackle issue with great intellectual vigor), we’re finally moving onto the priming and painting portion of the project. Thanks to everyone who came out and put their time in!
Anyway, this post is about our General Meeting next Monday, which we are having, as usual. Here’s the Plancast plan: http://planca.st/68j
Hope to see you all there.

Making our space usable is now the main priority of Workshop88, This Saturday, July 31st we’ll have the opportunity to ready the place to start moving our projects and tools. And we need your help and expertise. This Saturday’s agenda will be:
Front Room:
- Scraping walls
- Priming walls
- Tightening outlets
- Increasing lighting
- Organizing a storage solution
- Making the front room more friendly (via painting, wall hangings, an updated front door logo, etc)
Workshop:
- Baseboard prep and installation
- Drywall for the exposed bathroom wall
- Tightening outlets
- Painting/mounting our new storage cabinet (thanks Eric!)
- Framing and installing the wall dividing the workshop and electronics area.
A special thanks to Bill for our new dehumidifier! The smell from last Friday’s rain has already moved from ‘musty’ to ‘damp’! If you have tools useful for the aforementioned projects that are not already on site… bring em. If anybody has an extra shop-vac, that would be nice too, so Adam can stop carting his back and forth 
Hope to see you all on Saturday!
This Thursday, and every Thursday is Game Night at Workshop88.
Doors open at 6:30PM. and goes until the last of our members decides to go home.
After last week’s predictably polemic and borderline violent game of RISK, and a morally objectionable game of island exploitation for the good of the Spanish crown in the 17th century called Puerto Rico our traditional D&D game comes back with a fury.
In the vintage video game corner you can expect Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game, so if you were looking forward to control Raul Julia to defeat Kylee Minogue in this frustratingly obtuse game, this is your chance.
Some guests promised to bring a zombie board game; and we’d love to see the obscure, strange, home made, or otherwise awesome games you’d like to share with us.
If you have any questions, we’ll respond to comments on this post, or email us at info@workshop88.com
See you there!
