Digital Boo! L.A.'s First Tech Halloween Party

Join us for our big annual Halloween costume bash! The Internet was born in LA on 10/29/69, and we're celebrating with UCLA prof Leo Kleinrock, the Father of the Internet, with a digital themed Halloween costume party on the Birthday of the Internet 10/29 at ROC Santa Monica. We're gonna Internet birthday-rock with Kleinrock at ROC! Festivities include a costume contest with prizes, and a graphic design panel.

We'll start with a panel on graphic design to make sure the costume design of your site, app, etc. looks good. Then we'll celebrate with costumes, a costume cosplay competition, cake, and a toast at 10:30p, the exact time the first info packet was sent.
