About CurtisCon
CurtisCon is an annual combination birthday party and hacker "convention" held in Philadelphia, PA to celebrate the music and ephemera of hacker culture and the fact that Curtis hasn't died yet. CurtisCon is (and will hopefully always remain) a free convention for hackers. If you would like to support the event, help buy more beer, or help support the artists performing at the event, please see the merch section.
