Re: Who's up for Hack Night(s)?

Great idea. I'm up for that. I always have a lot on the to-hack list and
that'd be a great time to get some of it done.I'm partial to the Crossroads
area since I'm in Apex. I've done day work at Panera and that's pretty
decent. If there's only a few of us to start, then we probably don't need a
whole lot of space initially.

I really like the space at Borders, but until they clean up the T-Mobile
mess that's not a good option.

I'll ask around about what's open late. Some of the nice coffee shops close
too early.
