[Noisebridge-discuss] Cooking in the space

[Gregory Dillon]

Tonight was definitely an example when the kitchen usage was an extreme
problem.

I was in Jeffrey's class tonight, and like he said,  the burnt food smoke
and stink was so strong that my eyes were watery.  I felt like a headache
coming on and it made it difficult to pay attention in class.

I'm sure a lot of work went into building the kitchen, and so I do feel it
would be a shame to pull it out.    Maybe for a month or two the stove
could be disconnected and the lightweight kitchen items  be removed, and
only returned if the entire space can be stabilized.
