[Noisebridge-discuss] Church as the safe haven for being loud, whenever a class is not in session?

    ...yeah, but you're a good egg.... 
    Great idea. 
    What do you think of making the DJ booth the 
default loudness spot? Your idea suggests the 
need for loudness with respect to a hacking 
project of some kind, and mostly it seems such 
a project would be a solo endeavor, yes? In the 
few cases not, then Church could be the secondary 
approved spot.
