Fangs Gallery

For one night only, we’re transforming a Northern Indiana church into a blood-drenched 1980s art gallery!

Fangs Gallery is a one-shot LARP loosely inspired by Warhol's iconic Factory that dares to ask the important question, "What if Andy Warhol was a vampire?"

The game is set at Fangs Gallery, an art gallery and collective known for experimental pop art and provocative art films. Dozens of careers have been launched at Fangs Gallery, and some have even gained mainstream popularity. Since its opening, Fangs has brought together an eccentric mix of artists, musicians, drag queens, gallery employees, and society trendsetters.

And—of course—vampires!

This rules-lite game is set in the World of Darkness and written for 36 pre-cast characters. We use a Nordic-inspired system that encourages immersion and emotional storytelling.

Costumes strongly encouraged. New LARPers welcome!

Code and Connect

Welcome to Our First Code & Connect Meetup!

Hello everyone, and welcome to what I hope will be the first of many amazing gatherings! Whether you're a seasoned developer or someone who just wrote their first "Hello, World!" last week, you're exactly where you belong.

https://www.meetup.com/valparaiso-tools-meetup-group/events/310217987/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=share-btn_savedevents_share_modal&utm_source=link

What We're All About

This meetup exists for one simple reason: programmers and hardware hackers are at their best when they're learning from each other. Tonight, we're creating a space where those solitary coding struggles and late-night soldering sessions become shared discoveries.

Every project tells a story – the weekend code hack that spiraled into something beautiful, the Arduino project that finally blinked the right LED sequence, the work assignment that taught you something profound, or that ambitious IoT device sitting on your workbench. Whether it's software, hardware, or that magical blend of both, we want to hear your stories, see what you've built, and celebrate victories both big and small.

What to Expect

This is intentionally informal. Grab some food, find a comfortable spot, and get ready for fascinating conversations. We'll have time for impromptu demos (bring your breadboards!), collaborative problem-solving, and those wonderful "wait, how did you do that?" moments.

No presentations are required, but curiosity is essential. Come ready to share, ask questions, and discover your next favorite tool or collaborator.

Looking Ahead

This inaugural meeting is just the beginning. Our vision is to meet monthly, building a consistent community where we can watch each other's projects evolve and ideas cross-pollinate.

Let's Get Started

Welcome to Code & Connect – a community that celebrates the craft of programming in all its forms. Let's build something great together, starting with this conversation.

Who wants to kick us off by sharing what they've been working on lately?

Stained Glass Stepping Stones

Welcome to the Stained Glass Stepping Stones Workshop!

Join us at The HUB NWI on July 12, 2025, at 2:00 PM for a fun and creative afternoon. Let's get our hands dirty and create beautiful stepping stones using colorful stained glass pieces.

No experience is necessary - our instructor will guide you through the process step by step. It's a great way to unwind, socialize, and take home a unique piece of art for your garden.

This workshop is open to young adults, but for safety reasons, all glass cutting and shaping must be done by or supervised by an adult.

Important: Although we use fast-setting concrete, your stepping stones must remain undisturbed for at least 3 days to fully set and prevent cracking. Please plan accordingly for pickup or transport.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to unleash your creativity! See you there!
