[Noisebridge-discuss] South Bay Surplus Crawl

[Rich Humphrey]

Hello-
  Yes, this is true... Also, it is actually fairly expensive to use the chicken bus, it would probably be $500 to do this, and based on his mileage and his carrying costs this is actually a fair price.

  So you're probably looking for a large car, or several....
