- [Ass-crack Stage-hack](https://escrec.com/ass-crack-stage-hack) - Basically the Ass-crack Stage-hack can be anything that involves a stage, but it’s mainly more or less Esc.rec. related live concerts. In the beginning Ass-crack Stage-hacks have mostly taken place in Havenkwartier Deventer. But any stage will do. Starting in 2013 the Ass-crack Stage-hack expanded to other venues, ranging from pop venues and (movie) theatres to art spaces and my own atelier (De Perifeer). I only included events here that were actualy promoted as Ass-crack Stage-hacks, but Esc.rec. has organized many similar events before that.
