Today I received an email (copied below) from Paul Spinrad, a MAKE Magazine editor asking me, and Noisebridge, to have a table for people to learn about Noisebridge at an interesting kickoff party for Engine Advocacy.<br>
 <br>These people are focusing on small businesses (like the ones started at hackerspaces) to take a role in shaping the future of the US economy.  And they are seeing hackerspaces as part of this vision.<br> <br>I already agreed to be there to set up a table.  Anyone interested in joining me to represent Noisebridge at the party on 8-Dec, 7p-10p?  It'd be nice to have a few of us there.  (And it should be fun, too.  :)<br>
 <br>The party is in SOMA in the City.<br> <br>Mitch.<br><br> <br><div><hr>

      <div>Hi Mitch-- Derek Slater who used to be at the EFF but is now
        policy director at Google (maybe you know him?) is starting to
        pursue the big and exciting prospect of a new political advocacy
        org, <a href="http://engineadvocacy.org/" target="_blank">Engine
          Advocacy</a>, dedicated to encouraging innovation, grassroots
        entrepreneurship, making, net neutrality, and all that kind of
        good stuff.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>They're hosting a party in SF on December 8, and they would
        love it if you and any other Noisebridge folks wanted to come
        and set up a table for people to learn about Noisebridge and
        other hackerspaces, and play with Trippy RGBs, Brain Machines,
        etc.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>I'm definitely going to this-- I think it will be very fun
        and interesting.  I hope you'll be in town that day and can make
        it as well.  If you're interested, please RSVP below and you can
        also email <a href="mailto:brittanysmith@google.com" target="_blank">brittanysmith@google.com</a> to
        coordinate whatever you'd need for Noisebridge to represent
        there.  If so, I'd love to help out at the table however you
        want.  Please let me / us know!</div>
