[Noisebridge-discuss] Drunk, Belligerent and Crazy - Nightime @ Noisebridge!

[Kelly]

Kayla, I'm really sorry you had this experience. This has been an
ongoing problem (crazy people in the space) that is legitimately
challenging to deal with in Noisebridge's anarchic structure. I think
that it sounds like some helpful/constructive social structure (and a
phone tree!) are emerging out of this conflict, which I'm pretty
pleased by. But it sucks that you had to be part of the catalyzing
chaos.

Is your laptop ok? I am not personally familiar with the survival of
macbooks post-beer-bath, but keep us posted on its convalescence.
