Grindfest 5: Beyond the Thunderdome in Space the Musical
I just realized there was never an official announcement on the forums for this year's Grindfest! So, here it is. Better late than never, right?
Grindfest 5: Beyond the Thunderdome in Space the Musical, will be May 3-5 2019 in Tehachapi, California.

I am SO hyped to see y'all.
Grindfest is coming! May 3-5 Please sign up at http://augmentationlimitles.ipage.com/?p=828
The RSVPs are coming in, combined with new friends from BDYHAX and all our usual suspects this is shaping up to be a great time. Crossing fingers for good night weather for the Eta Aquariids meteor shower and al fresco dinner.
Grindfest rideshares are forming...check it out on the Slack channel. Annual electric knifefights will have a signup on-site.
Please let me know if you have any questions/concerns etc.If you'd like to present at Grindfest or have a particular project you'd like to collaborate on, please let us know. If you want a procedure performed let us know and we can get it on the schedule.
Just a week away! Procedural intensive, electric knife fights, meteor showers, talks and sessions, project planning (ok only I find this one awesome), and you all!
<3 One of many reasons why you are awesome!
Hello all :) My name is Santi, I am a futurist, filmmaker and researcher. I will be joining Grindfest for the first time this year! Super excited to meet the community and learn more. I am currently doing some research on transhumanism and biohacking, and hope to produce some form of experimental documentary (not about the fest itself). Can't wait to hear about the projects, experiments and discussions going on :)
Hi Santi! I think you'll enjoy Grindfest a great deal. See you soon.
Grindfest 05 is nearly here
Please RSVP (while we tend to make too much food, we don't want to run out ): http://augmentationlimitles.ipage.com/?page_id=820
We think it may be a smaller crowd this year so it's a good time to dive in on some skills and key conversations.
Come learn about PCB design, Arduino programming and CPR knowledge. If you are coming for the Procedural Intensive you will be learning about the grinding wetware basics. We'll have a talk on kombucha as a sustainable textile, conversations on projects and of course community goals for the next year. Expect interesting people and topics at every turn.
Friday night will be dinner under the stars and meteor shower watching. Saturday night will be pit/BBQ and the annual electric knife fight-- who will emerge the victor this year?
Grindfest adheres to the community code of conduct https://biohack.me/code_of_conduct/
We are a friendly, inclusive group. Please let us know about any violations, we don't expect perfection but we do expect correction. Please contact Cyberlass if you have questions, comments or concerns.
Things are shaping up for Grindfest and the Procedural Intensive is underway! Can't wait to see everyone.
as is tradition, there wasn't quite enough time to do everything that needed doing at grindfest, hence Lepht missed its flight home because it was getting a literal computer with personal area network installed in its arm (more on this later) and @cyberlass came to the rescue to help rebook and get it back home safe.
if y'all can shoot some money at cyberlass' venmo ( http://www.venmo.com/cyberlass ) or paypal ( http://paypal.me/cyberlass ) to help cover the cost of rebooking flights (~$2k), that would be great!
so where's the pics? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Hopefully next year I can come.
When will the date be released?
Can you share which devices they were? Any pics? Any kind of report at all? Thanks.
We need to get an album together! @birdmachine and I got a biometric implant for our project x implant. Lepht worked with a couple people and had a new implant created during Grindfest that does some communications -- haven't heard from it if it is okay to talk about yet. Will confirm and about an update. I'll post a pic of mine lit a bit later.
Grindfest 05
@birdmachine and I have had our project x implants healing up nicely. We're getting data from mine and hers is next. The LED is bright when on. :)
