All people count as members of the Cyborg Club. We help one another get in touch with our inner robots. This club emerged much later than the Skull Club and traces its beginnings to Cybernalia. I started the club for those who wanted a more contemporary group than the Skull Club. The links and my writings below can guide and inform Cyborg Club members.

I encourage Cyborg Club members at Cybernalia 2011 to create drawings and/or writings. These works were collected by me into a looseleaf binder labeled Cyborg Club. The binder continues to document club history, lore, artworks.

My journal entry of November 11, 2008 states that I created the Cyborg Club on that date.
