[Noisebridge-discuss] Milk and cookies event suggestion

[Rubin Abdi]

Thanks for suggesting this David. Ardent Heavy Industries did  
something similar to this, except we called it a show in tell. Same  
idea, someone's house, no money involved as we just turned it into a  
sort of potluck.

Anyhow I'd highly recommend this happen because...
- Attaching a project/hobby to a face/email is easier then attaching a  
name to a face.
- You get to learn about the range of things people around you are into.
- You get to show off.
- You get inspired to do new things.

Think of it sort of like dorkbot, but more down to a ground level,  
less OMGWTFBBQ big names.

I would be highly interested in helping out with this once the space  
has a little be more functionality to it.
