Hopefully everyone has had a good time with the strange weather over the past month as it’s ranged from uncomfortably warm or cold and almost raining in the desert oasis.

The pre-meeting gathered a smaller group at Gulliver’s with the skies temping rain and then moved to El Torito in the last hour before heading for the this months meeting.

A small overview of DEFCON 26 was presented by a couple people as a way to encourage people to come and visit the Hacker Stickers booth.

LayerOne is also around the corner in case you can’t make it to Vegas and Pasadena is an easier option for someone not needing a full DEFCON experience but still wants to visit a Hacker Stickers booth. 😉

Jonathan Wash presented a talk on a little known topic of alcohol. More specifically cocktail he thinks are easy and delicious to order at the watering hole of your choice or even at home for personal drinks or parties. Some of the drinks included a French 75, a Negoni, a Black Russian, and even a hair of the dog bonus “cocktail”. The slides for the talk with recipes can be found here.

Hopefully we’ll see some of you at LayerOne later this month but if not come one and all for the next IVU on June 8th!
