Promotional poster for BSides NoVA Hacker Happy Hour. Large neon text at the top reads "HACKER HAPPY HOUR." A central text overlay announces "THIS FRIDAY, FEB 13TH," sitting below a bubble listing the time as "February 13th, 5-8 PM." The bottom of the poster lists the venue as "Bunnyman Brewing" with the address "14140 Parke Long Ct A-C, Chantilly, VA 20151." The background is a vibrant, comic-book style illustration of a busy arcade bar filled with people socializing, drinking beer, and playing pinball machines under neon lights.

Have a cozy reading weekend, Northern Virginia! #BSidesNoVA

A mysterious Virginia Beach island may hold pirate secrets. An archaeological survey is planned. A local real estate attorney recently bought an island in Lake Joyce that may have a connection to Blackbeard the pirate, and he’s funding an archeological dig.

Yar, this sounds like a good #CtF theme for #BSidesNoVA 🏴‍☠️

Oh, just sitting here remembering one week ago when our HackerU students were learning things like, "How to Break an AI" in Pavan Reddy's #BSidesNoVA workshop.

They grow up so fast 🥲
