Would it be possible to get a Noisebridge account<br>
that we can share?<br>
I like the idea of using the Noisebridge place,<br>
tools, people to do as much as I can and occasionally<br>
hit up the TechShop place for tool and/or training<br>
that NB can't support.<br>
I can't afford to pay membership fees to belong to<br>
both joints.<br>
