Ground Kontrol Freeplay Freekout
Ground Kontrol is one of the best retro-gaming arcades in the world, set in a retro-future bar. 90 classic arcade games and 26 pinball games, all set on free play, thanks to PIE, Silicon Florist, and Metafilter. XOXO badgeholders only!
Ice Cream Social at Panic Inc.
Like modern-day Willy Wonkas, the crew at Panic have been making world-class Mac and iOS software forever, but rarely let anyone inside their factory. Today, that changes. Join Cabel, Steve, and the Panic gang for ice cream and drinks at their first-ever open house, and try to find the secret rooms, subtle videogame references, and Mario-meets-Toontown rooftop deck.
XOXO Rooftop Party
After you've had your fill of pinball and vintage Apple hardware, head over to W+K's amazing office for a rooftop party with food carts, drinks, and a performance by the Wanderlust Circus. Don't be late for your meeting in The Basket. XOXO badgeholders only!
