The Hackbus trip to Defcon 20
Pictures appear on Flickr: here, here, and under the tag hackbus here
Bought in 2007, by EvilMoFo and Fpenguin, the HackBus is a 1956 GM bus that has been converted to a living room on wheels. According to previous riders, it is one of the most entertaining ways to go to Defcon. If you are interested in the project, follow us on Twitter and/or join the HackBus Forum.
The HackBus leaves the San Francisco bay area on the Wednesday before Defcon and arives in Las Vegas that night. This schedule allows the HackBus to act as transportation to the Defcon Shoot on Thursday morning and the Toxic BBQ that evening. The HackBus leaves Las Vegas during the day on Monday, after Defcon, to return to the bay area that night. The schedule allows people to attend work on Tuesday morning.
For those not coming along for the ride, you can follow our progress streaming live to the internet. Links/embedded objects will appear on this page during the trip.
