Reboot Hour: De-Stress, Connect & Donate Tech | Games & Drinks at Carpool

The holidays are over. The week already feels long. Tuesday needs a reset button.

Come unwind at Reboot Hour — a chill monthly meetup where you can play games, grab a drink, meet interesting people, and finally deal with that drawer of old tech you've been meaning to donate.

No presentations. No forced networking. No pressure. Just good vibes and good impact.

What You Can Do Here

🎮 Play Pool, Pinball & Shuffleboard - Free games all night
🍺 Grab a Drink - Carpool has great beer and food specials
💬 Meet Tech & Startup People - Founders, engineers, builders, do-gooders
📱 Donate Old Devices - Bring phones, tablets, laptops (we professionally data wipe everything)

Drop in anytime between 6-8pm. Stay for 20 minutes or the whole night — your call.

The Triple Feel-Good

Feel good personally → De-stress and reboot your week
Feel good professionally → Low-key connections with interesting people
Feel good altruistically → Your old tech becomes someone's digital lifeline

What to Bring (All Optional)

Got new tech over the holidays? Bring your old devices:

• Phones & tablets
• Laptops & computers
• Smart home gadgets
• Headphones/earbuds
• Gaming consoles
• Chargers & cables

Everything is professionally data wiped to industry standards before reuse or recycling.

Your Impact

Your donated device becomes someone's: ✨ First laptop for school
✨ Job application portal
✨ Connection to family
✨ Homework tool
✨ Digital access

You're not just decluttering — you're opening doors for someone else.

The Vibe

This is the anti-networking event.

No agenda. No sales pitches. No awkward icebreakers. Just show up, play a game, meet some people, and feel good about doing something meaningful without a huge time commitment.

Easy. Casual. Welcoming.

Stay 10 minutes or hang out the whole time. Bring devices or just bring yourself. First-timers always welcome.
