foursquare hackathon – New York City – 19 February 2011

foursquare's first hack day will be held at General Assembly in New York City.

** What to bring **

Bring your laptop, power cables (and any other tools you use to hack) (p.s. mac users, bring the extension cable for your power adapter so you don't block three outlets on the power strips)
We'll provide: food, drinks, power, wifi, space, people to answer your hardest questions
