<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Dear Noisebridge Discuss (asterisk * indicates a note following the main body of the message),<br><br><br>I was just talking with several of the Noiseoisie about getting a cat for Noisebridge. As far as I can see, there's no downside. The cat would get a great home with 5,200 square feet & all the mice it can eat, the mouse would all be killed & eaten*, & we would have a lovable, furry feline friend (& possible mascot?) Best of all, I would get to have a cat again, which my violently unstable life as a squatter has ruled out. <b>I would go so far as to pledge to clean the litterbox once a week - that's how serious I am.**</b> And no one who's allergic to cats will read this message. <b>Pure win!</b><br>
<br>I was just talking it over with [name deleted by request], who said [quote censored for decency]: <span>"This
is a do-ocracy, </span><span> you've just gotta do it, </span><span>it's like a__l s_x, if you try to talk it over w/
people first, it'll never happen."</span> (I think that's horrible!) All the same, I thought I'd send this message out first just as a formality. I don't expect any objection, though, & have already begun the lengthy process of selecting the perfect cat (choice breed (Russian blue? Lilac-point Siamese?), excellent pedigree, proper fur color, <br>
<br>Speaking of completely random segues, I have the second issue of <b>ZiP</b> - a <i>megazine</i>, not merely a zine, as a zine purist whose name I didn't catch emphatically argued with me in the space last night - ready to print, & someone who happens to own a publishing company has offered to loan us a printer for the job, & a couple colleagues w/ cars have offered to help me pick it up & return it, & Noisebridge seems like a great space to do the printing, so that's probably going to happen early next week - Monday night, perhaps, later at night after the space clears out. <b>If anyone can offer any resources to help w/ the printing - money, a printer, ink cartridges for a Laserjet 4300, money, paper or other printing supplies, help with folding collating & stapling, or money - let your voice be heard!</b><br>
<br>It's a really nice publication, I promise. Covers you could eat off of, and the articles are damn near good enough to read.<br><br>Most likely no one will read this message, which is actually fine, since that way no one can complain about the cat, and I don't expect any help with the zine printing anyway.<br>
<br><br>Ciaoloha!<br><br><br>"Longshanks"<br><br><br><font size="1">*We might need to get 2 or 3 cats</font><br><br><font size="1">**I'm sure there would be much debate over where the keep the litterbox. Someone suggested the dark room ("nobody uses it") - we might install a small cat door, too small for people (or light). But it seems better to keep it somewhere in the kitchen area.</font><br>
