We are the FAMiLab North-Orlando Super Secret Book Club. We are a group of people, 'hackers', who enjoy playing with technology. Separately, we want a place to hang out (besides mom's basement) where we are free to toy with these things, and not worry about security guards. Together, we can afford a really cool space with otherwise unobtainable equipment, and share ideas, creations, and stuff. We could use a logo."
