The Bash is Back! After a two year Covid respite, the Bash is back live in Dallas for 2022. And, this year we are all about FLOP (sorry Top) Gun: Maverick the hugely poplar sequel (remake?) with old timey jets, a contrived mission, death-star like trench, all sorts of contorted nosebleed high-G maneuvers, unseen bad guys, and a little ground fighting just for fun. We are all in. What's not to like!
IMPORTANT: We know Covid is not over (we are science types afterall) and want everyone to be safe. For that reason, we are inviting all attendees to take the HPC Community Covid Safety Pledge
Now the fun parts. First, you can go to the Beowulf Bash Page and check out our extra snarky invite. There will be jet fighting (simulated, sorry) and a laser tag contest where you can work on becoming the Top Gun, refreshments, a band and a place you can talk with your friends (we provide a quiet room).
The live action event begins at 9pm Monday, November 14, right after SC’s Opening Gala. We'll be flying the jets at Gilley’s Dallas – 1135 Botham Jean Blvd.
Last but not least, you can also meet the new Beowulf Foundation Mascot "Potato."

Time once again for the best (well we think so) party at SC. This year we borrow some "stranger" notions of the 1980's. You remember the IBM PC, the Mac, the WWW, and Windows 2.0. And, if you don't we'll remind you anyway. Pro tip: There are three Hyatt hotels near the Convention center, the Beowulf Bash is at the GRAND HYATT Hotel (head up Welton Street to 17th when you leave the CC on Monday night) We are on the 38th floor, best view in Denver.
