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

[James Sundquist]

I think it'd be awesome to let demos run for more like two hours, perhaps
from 6pm - 8pm.  Carl & Beatrice can perform around 7:30pm, we make for
excellent, unassuming music that won't stop people from carrying on
conversations.
