Seems like labor is the biggest shortage lately. Money was certainly coming in at a close second, but having Rubin as non-corporeal check signer alleviates that. Perhaps it's time to rely on the tried and true services for funds paradigm? I think that it would be nice to find someone from within the ranks who will work for really cheap--though not for free. The nice thing about paying people is that then you can tell them when to get things done. It seems like amongst ourselves, it might be a while until our aggregated free time results in a completed darkroom. So maybe we post first to discuss?<br>
<br>If I get a second from a non-Rubin person who will help me coordinate this shite, I'll start shopping around.
