[Noisebridge-discuss] Shapelock - Finalizing order

[Corey McGuire]

So I haven't sent out invoices yet because I realised, it wasn't fair that I
was throwing an event for demoing it after I was collecting money.  So I
will send out invoices Monday.  Sorry for not being more on top of
mentioning this.  I was busy wrangling orb wranglers for Orb Swarm's
presence at California Academy of Science.

If you want, I can prepare your invoice after the event on Sunday.

In other news, Aaron of Tri-ISO says he might be able to piggy back our
order on to someone else's order...no promises...for a slight reduction in
cost.  More details as they emerge.  At this point, still assume $18 bucks
per Kilo.  It will most likely be $16.70 per kilo.  If this discount
happens, it may be as little as $15.50 per kilo... but at this point, a buck
per Kilo, we're splitting hairs and might not be a priority.
