King Pong will be taking over Kesey Square! Have you ever played the arcade classic with a 20 foot screen and larger-than-life controls? Well, thanks to the good folks at Eugene Tech, XS Media and the Eugene Cultural Service (EUGfun), Tuesday is your night! Bike in Shapes will join in the fanfare, launching this Tuesday at 7pm from the Barn Light along a pixel-ated journey, returning in time for beers and the King Pong start at 8pm. All are welcome to join the group ride!

February 27th, Eugene – Cryptokitties

Posted on February 25, 2018 by Ross

Bitcoin bubble? Maybe. Cryptokitties overhype? Not a chance. ;) This week, let’s deploy onto the cutest, purriest blockchain of them all, by creating our own 256 bit, distinct rendition of the year’s fluffy fad. (That’s right, all cryptokitties have distinct DNA or “cattributes”). We’ll meet this Tuesday at 16 Tons Beer & Wine (265 E 13th Ave) at 7pm and paw-rance away from there.
