[Noisebridge-discuss] Jackson Arms (shooting range) trip tonight 3/31 @7pm

[Josh Perfetto]

Hi Jake,

No offense taken. I realize you don't run NB and I know it was unfair  
to single you out, but as many NB members have remarked about poor  
communications lately I just wanted to point out that communications  
really are a two way street. I don't know the full set of details of  
communications regarding the exeriment and fridge but do feel a number  
of members had the chance to step in and better acquaint the newer  
people with NB before this situation occurred.

Anyways I look forward to us all working closer together in the future  
regardless on where diybio settles on for labspace, as Praveen said we  
are working on similar goals. Since you guys are interested in bio I  
think it would be awesome for us to hold some workshops on biohacking  
at NB in the future both for the NB and general interested community.

-Josh
