Bay Area Makers! <br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr">We're all getting geared up for Makerfaire, hope to see
many of you there! Got this email from a fellow maker hailing from Twin
City Makers looking for a place to crash in the bay area for the
'Faire, and extending the same offer to anyone visiting Minneapolis.<br>

Greetings! My name is Becca Steffen, and I am a board member and the
President of Twin Cities Maker @ The Hack Factory, a maker/hacker space
out of Minneapolis, MN. I'm reaching out to you to ask a favor and get
some information. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I am planning to be at the Bay Area Maker Faire (for
something related to the Ultimate Maker Vehicle Challenge.. though I
cannot give many details) with one of my fellow board members, and we
are trying to figure out a place to stay. We fly in the night of <span
__postbox-detected-content="__postbox-detected-date"
class="__postbox-detected-content __postbox-detected-date"
style="display: inline; font-size: inherit; padding: 0pt;">Friday, May
16th</span> and fly back to Minneapolis early in the <span
__postbox-detected-content="__postbox-detected-date"
class="__postbox-detected-content __postbox-detected-date"
style="display: inline; font-size: inherit; padding: 0pt;">morning on
Monday, May 19th.</span> </p>
<p dir="ltr">So, the favor that I'm asking is that if you could spread
the word among your membership and see if anyone has a place or knows of
a place that two makers from Minneapolis could crash for a few nights,
especially if it is close to San Mateo (since we won't have a car).
Likewise, I'm extending the offer to Noisebridge folks that should they
ever find themselves in the Minneapolis area, that they should feel
welcome to utilize our space and we'll find them a place to stay. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Any assistance you could give us is greatly appreciated.
Also, if you'd like to meet up with us for lunch/coffee/cocktail at some
point during the weekend, I'd love to make a connection with you and
your space!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks,<br>
Becca Steffen<br>
President<br>
TC Maker</p>
