[Noisebridge-discuss] Bill, Ted and Noisebridge's "Excellent" document

[Glen Jarvis]

Rachel,

   We'll change the day to fit your schedule. :)  The only thing that is not
set in stone is the exact time and date to meet... That's a little flexible
and in flux until we get a sense of who wants to participate so we can work
around their schedules...

Cheers :)


Glen
