Defcon Crafters

[Abby_Normal]

Would there be any interest in a hacker craft contest? I know we have a lot of crafters of different types. I though it might be fun to have a defon themed craft contest.

Any interest? We'd need some judges too, as well as suggestions for prizes.

A Defcon knitting contest. Who can knit a 'sploit in under an hour. I'd pay to see that

yeah.... are you thinking like an art contest? like who can build the coolest sculpture using only parts from a IIe? cuz it sounds a little shaky...

There could be several categories of crafts, like "drink" (includes beer), food, dessert, textiles, clothing, art from tech (clock, mobile, statues) , or others.

There has been discussion in the past for having a home-brew (beer) contest, and a contest of TBBQ eats. If these contests don't go anywhere, perhaps categories in a crafts contest might work. If a category grows "large" it can be spun off to a separate contest.

Combining several "craft contests" into one, might allow several people to work together, and if a table needs to be staffed, people can take turns. (Cooperative craft contests might allow many categories, but shared work.)

Maybe just create any piece of artwork that is "hacker/computer" themed.
Like the goatse sculpture made of toilet paper made at DC12.

It would be interesting to see what people came up with.

Funny, I was designing one. But mine had a fun fur border at the top. I was thinking black back, white smiley, purple fur trim around the opening. Or perhaps something with stripes.

I need to chart out some stuff. For you knitters out there http://www.thedietdiary.com/knitting...tersGraph.html\

What about a contest for outfits and getups for the Black and White Balls?
