thanks to everyone for coming! We had an awesome turnout of about
100 people, all this on a beautiful spring evening in vancouver....

I
did want to provide one little correction to the information that is
being circulated from the world urban forum website - the blocks are
wooden and have embedded technology that is not RFID.

Stay tuned to http://www.in-ex.ca for information about legions of really fabulous upcoming IN[]EX events...
