[Noisebridge-discuss] TechShop might open a SF location

[jim]

   Would it be possible to get a Noisebridge account 
that we can share? 
   I like the idea of using the Noisebridge place, 
tools, people to do as much as I can and occasionally 
hit up the TechShop place for tool and/or training 
that NB can't support. 
   I can't afford to pay membership fees to belong to 
both joints.
