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

[maestro]

i have suggested soundproofing the treehouse/djbooth multiple times in the
past and making a 'swing' shut window that can be opened when no
noise_noisebridgers are hacking or blasting things through speakers that
resemble a cat fucking while being slowly skinned with nailclippers...

church, imho, is NOT a good idea as others may be in turing having class,
hacking on projects, and/or being in a quieter area of NB where they can
focus on things and/or just be away from fighting, violence, arguing,
attention whores, people that yell when they talk intentionally...

and turing already has the dirty room and all it's badassery as an 'active'
neighbor...

i get why you looked at church but it seems like the noise_noisebridgers
are already at the other end of the house where the big table is and
there's more space to set things up that won't have to be moved every time
people have regular classes...

soundproofing the treehouse/djbooth will also prove whether or not beings
are actually hacking on audio or just wanting to put their shit on others...
