[Noisebridge-discuss] Practical Politics

[jim]

    ideal for me could be early mornings. 
    i like to go to bed or at least be at home by 
around 8 PM. i've got a thing at noisebridge on 
wednesdays from 6 to 8 PM, immediately after 8 PM 
would work for me. 
    thursday evenings i have nothing at noisebridge, 
so as early as possible on thursdays is best for me. 

with thanks, 
jim
