About this Event
The holidays are over. The week already feels long. Tuesday needs a reset button.
Come unwind at Reboot Hour — a chill monthly meetup where you can play games, grab a drink, meet interesting people, and finally deal with that drawer of old tech you've been meaning to donate.
No presentations. No forced networking. No pressure. Just good vibes and good impact.
What You Can Do Here
🎮 Play Pool, Pinball & Shuffleboard - Free games all night
🍺 Grab a Drink - Carpool has great beer and food specials
💬 Meet Tech & Startup People - Founders, engineers, builders, do-gooders
📱 Donate Old Devices - Bring phones, tablets, laptops (we professionally data wipe everything)
Drop in anytime between 6-8pm. Stay for 20 minutes or the whole night — your call.
The Triple Feel-Good
Feel good personally → De-stress and reboot your week
Feel good professionally → Low-key connections with interesting people
Feel good altruistically → Your old tech becomes someone's digital lifeline
What to Bring (All Optional)
Got new tech over the holidays? Bring your old devices:
- Phones & tablets
- Laptops & computers
- Smart home gadgets
- Headphones/earbuds
- Gaming consoles
- Chargers & cables
Everything is professionally data wiped to industry standards before reuse or recycling.
Your Impact
Your donated device becomes someone's: ✨ First laptop for school

You're not just decluttering — you're opening doors for someone else.
