2011 Indy Hackers Holiday Social

Please join us, a bunch of programmers, nerds, geeks, hackers, to celebrate the season by consuming the traditional holiday meal of beer and pizza, listening to The Handicapper Generals fill  the hall with blues-rock, and, if you're so inclined, compete in the  traditional holiday programming contest against your fellow programmers.  How can you not be excited about an event absolutely dripping reverence  for tradition?

The Plan

6:30PM The Handicapper Generals take the stage! Be sure to arrive early to  hear the traditional holiday blues-rock covers of songs by The Black  Keys, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and more. At this  point, the beer will be flowing, and the pizza will be ... sitting  there, waiting for you to eat it.

7:30PM Beginning of the programming contest (optional -- you may continue to  drink, eat, and be merry, if you wish). The contest will consist of a  set of problems requiring varying skill levels. An hour and a half will  be given for each team of two to finish the problems.  Winners will be chosen based on number of problems solved, with ties  broken by the time it took to finish them. We will also be reading and  applauding your creativity in choosing a team name.

9:00PM Programming contest winners announced!

10:00PM You don't  have to go home, but you can't stay here (unless you're going to help us  clean up)! (Seriously, though, please choose a safe method for getting  home.)
