CarolinaCon's Lock-Picking Village (hosted by FALE with special guests TOOOL) will be on Saturday, May 17, from 10am until we get tired of dealing with it. Be sure to come by for shenanigans, contests, drinks, hot chicks, and learning. At least one of the aforementioned features will occur.

Lock-picking Rules:

Only pick the test locks provided in the breakout room(s). Do not go around trying to pick hotel locks, locks of cars in the parking lot, etc. during CarolinaCon. Violators of this rule will be swiftly kicked out of the conference and the hotel, and possibly arrested.

Do not pocket/steal any picks, pick sets, test locks, etc. Violators of this rule will have their f'ing hands cut off, and then we'll kick them out of the hotel and ban them from all future conference attendance.
