A Sunday afternoon re-animating the seminal net lounge known as backspace [1996-1999 RIP].

Please take up this open invitation to attend a Sunday afternoon re-animating the seminal net lounge known as Backspace (1996 – 1999, RIP).

Starbucks now squats the intimate riverside interior, once the reserve of innovators and imagineers, slackers and hackers.

http://backspace.org/, like much of the energy and enthusiasm of its time, swept downstream, cleansed by the bucks and bust of 'regeneratown'.

The spirit of free networking and the collaboration spawned by its passing, live on, in the flow of activity and passion for indy-media, and peer-oriented exchange still driving internet utility and development.

In keeping with the original Backspace vibe, no one ever knew exactly what was going to happen, but something great often emerged from the creative conceptual cocktail of the people, the place and the chaos to make it a key international hub during its brief spark of life.

Bring: people, tech, memorabilia, disks, movies, give-aways, code, cameras, anecdotes, footage, ideas and actions...

Attend, return, revive and 'Mix it up!'

'.... never the same river twice.'

See you in there from noon.
