borderlands hacklab at the Free Skool needs volunteers to stay open for summer 2008!
It's summer! Hooray! And that means that it's hot in San Diego, and that lots of people are traveling to various protests like the G8 in japan and the upcoming RNC/DNC protests. Also, people are moving in and out of the Free Skool, so thinkgs are a bit in flux.
Basically, right now we only have one volunteer to cover sundays and open the lab. We've been here for a year and regularly have kids from the neighborhood come to use the computers. It helps if you speak spanish, but its not necessary at all. We're so in need that we just need someone to open the doors and be here from 1-3pm. If there's another time that works for you, we can check the calendar and put out signs and open when you can come, but we have people who regularly come on sundays, so that's best.
If you can help, please email us at sdhacklab A+ lists d0t riseup d0t net, or call the city heights free skool at 619-528-8060.
We are creating the world we want to see instead of asking for it or waiting for it. Help us do that!

"For years, months, days, we networks and communities of individuals have been exchanging knowledge, designing worlds, experimenting with gizmos and devices.
We are the expression of a thousand thoughts, we are migrants across the City and the Net; we are searching for a place where our commonalities and practices can open up space-time discontinuities.
We want to hack reality, and we need a lab to reassemble its basic elements. In a metropolis scared by unreal securities and too real fears, we yearn to give birth to a site of full of imageries made fle
