[Noisebridge-discuss] Fwd: YBCA and Noisebridge

[Andy Isaacson]

Forwarding message from YBCA sent to press at .  Anyone interested in
representing Noisebridge at a more-traditional-event-venue?  Note that
the timeframe is *short*, they are opening next month and want to
include participants in their pre-opening marketing material.

(I checked with Jesse, he's fine with this being on -discuss.)

I'll bring this up at the Tuesday meeting too.
