[Noisebridge-discuss] Set the date for a Noisebridge Fundraiser

[James Sundquist]

Saturdays are fine as far as I know.  I just used Friday as something to
get things rolling.  I've confirmed bands for March 29 or 30th so that can
be set unless we want to take longer, in which case I'll ask people all
over again.  Please keep all posts to the list; thanks.
