[Noisebridge-discuss] Instrument-Making Wirkshops

[jim]

    I'll be at NB at 10 AM Saturday, must leave at 
11:40 AM, can return sometime between 4 and 5 PM 
and stay for a while. I expect there will be others 
at the space to help with instrument building 
between 11:40 AM and the time I return. I suppose 
we could continue working into the early evening. 
    Note that when hardware and other supply stores 
close there may be a limitation on progress. 
    On Sunday I expect to get to the space around 
10 AM and be there for the duration, with possible 
trips to stores or food places. Don't know at what 
time I or others will get tired and want to go home; 
there'll be someone there through the afternoon for 
sure. 
    Coming early in the day is probably good, as you 
can get a start and still have time to run to some 
store or dumpster to get suppies you didn't anticipate 
in your original plans (or non-plans).
