Thursday would be pretty awesome with me. We're going to start this Thursday (the 8th?)<br><br>Sean<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 5, 2010 at 1:11 PM, Michael Shiloh <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:michaelshiloh1010@gmail.com">michaelshiloh1010@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
I'm thinking Thursday at 6PM. This would overlap with "Play games with<br>
geeks" which is on the calendar<br>
(<a href="https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Category:Events" target="_blank">https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Category:Events</a>) for every Thursday at<br>
7:30PM. I'm guessing the game session doesn't take place in a space that<br>
we would prefer. We'd like something more classroom like with a white<br>
board/screen/tables for working.<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
<br>
I'm also thinking, before I over-commit, of doing this every other week,<br>
at least until we see how things go.<br>
