To be clear, this was spent as a result of this party:

This wasn't Noisebridge money.

I sadly wasn't there (had to see a friend join the Six Feet Under Club
at Arse this year), but I was surprised too as to how the money got
spent. I was expecting something like "Let's donate it all to the
EFF!" or "Let's build a ball pit in the DJ Booth!"
Must have been some party!
