Regina, Winnipeg - Geek Girls, Break-in

I had a blast with the Winnipeg Geek Girls (need Facebook link), they enjoyed my scrapbook of hackerspaces, and I enjoyed having some geeky people to hang with. We played pool (badly) and talked about archiving, programming, finding like minded people, and lots of other stuff. Cheers girls and keep up the good work, it'd be awesome if you could grow your little Geek Girls events into a cultural force in Winnipeg! Flickr Set

The ironic thing is that I went to special effort to try to park in a safer area. They offered me free parking at the hostel, but warned me not to keep valuables in the car, and I agreed: the area was far too sketchy. So I drove 6 blocks away and found a nice(r) garage and parked there, but apparently I didn't go far enough! At least my car was covered though so that the rain didn't get in my window hole. The final indignity is the cost of window replacement: $420! That's about twice what I was hoping for, and about 100x the value of what was stolen from me...

Aww that sucks that hanging out with us cost you a window and some bagels! Glad to have you out though to our Winnipeg Girl Geek Dinner. Cheers, happy travelling!

In the future check out the Computer Science Student Society at CW308.2 at the University of Regina. It has been for about a decade, and remains a small hive of geeks of fine calibre!
Your blog is awfully appealing. I am contented with your post. I regularly read your blog and its very helpful. If you are looking for the best Window Replacement Service, then visit Vixco Glass Depot. Thanks! I enjoyed this blog post.
