Spy Kids, an ageless masterpiece, will be screened for free for an audience of exclusively earnest adults.

24 years later, we haven’t forgotten. Spy Kids is an ageless masterpiece which brought into our lives such notable creatures as Thumb-Thumbs, Fooglies, and Alan Cumming. The film deftly used whimsy and humor to explore, through a critical lens, the impacts of artificial intelligence and the role family plays in community building. The Library of Congress concurs, having recently selected the film for preservation in the United States National Film Registry for its cultural significance.

For this reason, we have chosen to host a screening of Spy Kids 1. Join us to revel in Robert Rodriguez’s creative prowess. Light snacks will be provided. Costumes encouraged.

Earnest adults only. No kids, spy or otherwise.

Anna is a Spy Kids expert and historian, having spent the past twenty years of their life researching (watching) the Spy Kids series and analyzing its themes.

This is a Masks Optional event.

As with all NYC Resistor events, this class is 18+ and governed by our Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct, as well as accessibility information, can be found at www.nycresistor.com/participate/.

Harness the power of an Epilog 60 Watt Laser! In this class you’ll learn everything you need to know to make the ideas in your head become a reality with a laser.

In this three hour class, you will learn:

  • How to set up a file for cutting on the laser cutter in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator.
  • Laser cutter safety including materials testing.
  • Laser cutter operation including configuration, cuts and raster etching in common materials like wood, acrylic, cardboard and others.

At the end of class, you will go home with:

  • An SVG vector file of a simple shape you’d like to cut for your first cut.
  • A piece of 1/8 inch or thinner wood, acrylic or cardboard you’d like to cut. If you can’t bring your own material, small pieces will be made available, or larger pieces for purchase on site.

Feb 23 2025 : Covert Covers (a bookswap)

Covert Covers is a bookswap that focuses on creating community and exploring a shared love of reading.

Covert Covers is a bookswap that focuses on creating community and exploring a shared love of reading.

How the swap works:

People bring books they’d like to swap (between 1-6 usually). Everyone wraps their books so the titles and covers are not visible. You write a few bullet points about why someone would want to read the book. The bullet points can be as simple or specific as you want i.e. “British” or “queer sci fi about lesbian alien lovers.” You also write the name and the title on the back of the book (so that no one takes a book they’ve read before).

Once all of the books are wrapped, we lay them out and read the descriptions to scheme for books you’re interested in. Then we go in rounds picking a book. If you brought 1 book, you pick a book the first round. If you brought 5 books, you pick books the first 5 rounds.

When everyone’s got their books, we spend time chatting about what books we got / brought / have loved lately.

Who is the event for and what should you bring?

Anyone who reads books and wants to swap / hang /make friends! No experience required. Just bring a book (or a few). You can wrap your books ahead of time, but there will also be supplies provided.

A Note from Your Host:

I am an avid book lover and am in the process of writing my own book. My favorite genres are coming of age novels, dystopian and short story collections. I am a huge advocate for bookwormreads over GoodReads or Storygraph. I read 47 books last year and my goal for this year is 50.

Whether you’re a beginner seeking guidance or an expert eager to inspire others, Synthesizer Night is the perfect setting to engage in conversations, exchange knowledge, and foster a vibrant community.

Throughout the evening, you’ll have the opportunity to engage in impromptu jam sessions, where the collective energy of multiple synthesizers intertwines to create awe-inspiring sounds. Experience the joy of collaborating with fellow musicians, experiment with different genres and styles, and let the unique characteristics of each instrument shape your sonic explorations.

Additionally, for those who wish to showcase their skills and perform, there will be dedicated performance slots. Take center stage, captivate the audience, and let your creativity soar as you demonstrate the full potential of your synthesizer setup. To sign up for a performance slot, email [email protected] or join our Discord and post to #synth.
