[Noisebridge-discuss] There are twenty people at Noisebridge

[Frantisek Apfelbeck]

Tastebridge will put around 40 bottles of pro-biotic beverages in to the fridge 
today. They are really tasty and also mostly organic. Most of the people put 
money to the Noisebridge bin so it should  bring some cash in.


See you soon,

Frantisek

Drink money doesn't pay the rent. I think the daily operation dollar
amount was said to have been $160. Every little bit helps, but not when
every bit is little.

Studies have also shown that chatting on a mailing list doesn't pay the
rent either.
