Toxic BBQ @ DEF CON 32

 · 

15:00 to 21:00 on Thursday, August 8
at Sunset Park, Foxtail Pavilion (36.0636, -115.1178)

Another Toxic in the books. Our 8th and the 18th overall.

2024 Stats: 800 hackers 700 burgers 500 hot dogs 50 non-meat patties 50 cases of bottled water and countless conversations over smoked salmon, pork shoulder, homebrew, mead, and cheeses

Thanks to your generosity, we covered costs and raised over $1000 for the EFF. Uncounted is the time volunteers spent grilling, prepping, and cleaning up. We can’t wait to meat you all next year.

Also check out the Gallery for shots from Photo Goon AJ702 and others.

Here’s the rest of the invite page for posterity:

The humans of Vegas invite you to this year’s unofficial welcome party. Join us off-Strip in the shade of Sunset Park for a heat-blasted hangout. Burgers, dogs, and meatless options are provided. Attendees pitch in to make everything else happen.

Contribute more food and drinks, staff the grill, join supply runs, or donate cash to help cover costs. Relax under the trees and conversate with new and old friends. Come be a part of what makes this cookout something to remember year after year.
