[Noisebridge-discuss] Anti-sleepers / Livers at Noisebridge and Martin's drunkenness again.

[girlgeek]

One night I found myself stuck at NB overnight.  I discovered that it 
was a different population than I have seen at other hours, and most of 
them were fine with people sleeping.  It was a very strange set of 
people and a strange experience.  I can see how Eric must be frustrated.
