by Jenny Ryan

Hi all! On Friday, July 19th we held our first POSSE [Potluck Orientation Skill-share Swap-meet Event] at 2141 Broadway, hosted by the BACE Timebank.

Hey all, better late than never? I remember some folks talking about setting up carpools/caravans awhile back,a quick perusal on the list doesn't turn up anything, and it was suggested to check on the list, so ..

There is Beer at the End Of The Tunnel

by Morten H. D. Fuglsang

Greetings! While Subiir believes in the free flow of alcohol with taste (aka beer) for everyone, we also acknowledge that sometimes, building up expectations to a joyous taste-explosion has its worth as well. We are pleased to announce that the drought of Subiir continues for 3 more weeks. And we are even more pleased to announce that in 3 weeks, not only will we release a batch of delicious ipa (batch #6 aka. BitLite), we too shall release a batch of delicious cream ale (batch #7 aka.

Clothes/textile printer cleanup

by karekareraisu＠gmail.com

The other pile is a stack of 7 printers that were labeled as jam monsters. Tom helpfully assembled into a standing desk station. While ergonomic we both agree that they may make a better tear down project for sudo kids or e-recycled. I don't want to leave these piles here for more then a day … [View More]

I can help donate them if there are no objections. Most of the clothing is actually scrap fabric, so wouldn't be suitable for donating as clothing. I think we should sort out the wearable items first, so as not to waste the time of any shelters.
