Radio Handi is hosting a happy hour for phone geeks. Tuesday Oct 10th at the Phone Booth, 25th and S Van Ness in San Francisco.
This is a phreak potluck. We're asking everyone to bring an interesting fixed line phone (rotary phones especially), and one person to bring a small KSU or PBX that can power rotary phone ringers. We also need lots of RJ11 extension cords. We'll be setting up a temporary PBX with table to table and table to bar dialing.
So stop by and throw back and pint or two....
posted up on MAKE - send us photos!

Hi. We're still digging around for a spare KSU or PBX with enough juice to ring old rotary phones. Got plenty of antique phones, but sent our old analog intercom system to the landfill years ago.
I'll be bringing some RJ11 extension cords. If you have extra cords and miscellaneous gear, bring it along.
Oh, and I think we should create a drinking game out of the game of Telephone.

Was anyone else surprised to realize Woody Allen's first job was as an operator?
