Strikeforce:Anti-Social

• To plan the SkullSpace Anti-Social in September of 2016.
• Leader: A. Michael
• Members: A. Michael, Thor, Shab, Edwin
• Status: Tickets and posters printed; license still in process

Concept

The Anti-Social is a geek-themed social, but also a not-social. Music, but not too loud; dancing, but not all the time; alcohol, of course; people dressing in costumes, but only if it's not going to end up weird; raffles full of geeky gifts; food, both generic party snacks and home-cooked treats; video games projected on the walls.

Timeline:

• Send out an update to our social media channels: after the above, the week before, the day before, and a few hours before.
• Order alcohol
• Think about food. Do we need to place an order somewhere?
• Plan out all the events and volunteers right away.
• Design some decorations, if we can. The more time we give ourselves, the better it'll all be.
• The day before is the best day for doing prep baking.
• The day of, we'll arrive early with refreshments, board games, and decorations to get everything set up.

Theme

Can we design everything with pixels and modified 4-bit colour? (For example) Emphasis on cards and boards as design elements (maybe real-life Material Design). Maybe dice. Play up the hacker aesthetic, if we can. Green numbers and stuff. Some hardware hacks with blinkenlights, if possible.
