[Noisebridge-discuss] Tired of Noisebridge BS, As of Late

[Shannon Lee]

The original meeting-before-last offender was me.  I found two different
pieces of luggage being stashed back there, basically masked by the growing
pile of crap on the floor down at the end of "hacker alley."

Having moved the luggage to the elevator foyer, I decided not to stop
there, reasoning that "crap left on the floor" was equal in the eyes of the
doocracy.  To be fair, we didn't actually put things in e-waste, we just
put them in the elevator foyer where I have seen "unclaimed crap" stacked
before.
