-Friends! It's time to gather your gadgets and join us for another #cryptoparty! The topic of discussion will be Encryption! 
-The news has been coming thick and fast - everything we thought we knew about our level of safety, security, and privacy on the Internet is turning out not to be so certain. There is one thing we can be reasonably certain of, though, and that's that strong encryption still works. 
-No matter the budget, you can't bribe an equation. 
-No matter the threats, algorithms are impervious to violence.. 
- 
-So let's get together, learn to encrypt, and make 'em work for it, shall we? We'll discuss the recent Guardian/NYT/ProPublica articles ('Bullrun'), and we'll learn to install & use TrueCrypt (for Windows). I also hope we'll have some more advanced users who want to talk about using other encryption software on other OSs. 
- 
-This is intended for ALL skill levels, but especially for BEGINNERS. All are welcome to come and learn with us =D If you fancy yourself of above-average skill with a computer, or you already know a bit about encryption, consider getting in touch with us about helping out! 
- 
-We will be meeting at VORTEX, which has a nearby food trailer and a BAR for your refreshment. Kids and critters are welcome! 
-Bring your laptops and other gadgetry - I will have thumb drives with copies of Truecrypt available to use, and provided we don't swamp their wi-fi network you can download it yourself on the spot.
