[Noisebridge-discuss] The point of Noisebridge, we're shooting a hacker to Singapore

[Gardner]

Hi Rubin,
  Perhaps you could sell this a bit more for people like me that may
not be involved enough to understand the benefits of a 24 hour trip.
All the hippy shit aside, I perceive long journeys with short stays as
a waste of resources. So you may understand how, when I read your
email, I felt as though it was as a plea for more resources while
standing on a current mis-management of resources. What does Antonio
hope to accomplish within 24 hours of being there that he could not do
over the internet and why is he only staying 24 hours?

Thanks,
  -g
