HWC was started in San Francisco by Tantek at the end of of 2013. I finally hosted the first Homebrew Website Club (HWC) at the Pivotal office in Santa Monica on Wednesday April 27th.

Three of us were there:

Me
Chris Aldrich
Anthony Dreessen

Chris and I already had #indieweb friendly websites, but Anthony did not. So after a quick round of intros and demos, I worked with Anthony as he walked through the Dark Matter deploy, setup, first (and second) posts, and POSSEing to Twitter.

This was the first of hopefully many weekly HWCs in Santa Moncia.
