   Sounds terrific to me. At what time will you be at 
the space? Where in the space? How to recognize you?

We can look forward to big group projects (laser-harp-controllered modular synth?), making useful enclosure and PCB designs to make or have made, group purchases of useful things like PCBs, enclosures, jacks and 3PDT switches, and maybe even some organized efforts to show not-yet-hacker musicians how they can build their own version of that boutique tubescreamer clone they've been lusting after.  For now, I'll just be at the space tonight trying to make an AVR-based MIDI arpeggiator; you should stop by.
