DNA Lounge: Wherein today is Zero Cool Day


Listen Later

37 years ago today, Zero Cool hacked all those banks across state lines. From his house. Crashed 1,507 systems in one day. Biggest crash in history. Front page New York Times, August 10, 1988.

Naturally, that means it's time for our latest installment of CYBERDELIA.

Yo, check it. DNA. Fri Sep 5.

This is the THIRTIETH Anniversary of HACKERS, yes really. Thirty years. Join me as I crumble to dust. So, as per tradition, we will have:

  • A screening of Hackers at 8pm;
  • Hackers costume contest at 11pm;
  • Head-to-head Wipeout XL competition throughout the night;
  • Skate ramps! Rollerblades welcome!
  • Electro / big beat / cyberpunk dance party to follow.

"Hackers penetrate and ravage delicate public and privately owned computer systems, infecting them with viruses, and stealing materials for their own ends. These people, they are terrorists."

You can read a bit about Cyberdelia's history in last year's NEUROBLAST HyperCard DiskZine!
