Strikeforce:Anti-Social

• To plan the SkullSpace Anti-Social in September of 2016.
• Leader: A. Michael
• Members: A. Michael, you? (Yes, you can add your name here! This is a wiki, and can be edited freely!)
• Status: Groundwork

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; raffles full of geeky gifts; food, both generic party snacks and home-cooked treats; video games projected on the walls.

Theme

The design of the venue will start after everything else has been done, probably in the second full week of September. 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.
