It makes no sense moving Sudo into another room at 2141 as long as it is govern by George. We need to relocate Sudo. I will be looking at locations along the Bart transit stops.Please Repeat

In complete agreement that Sudo cannot survive 2141 broadway. I would also like to bring to the table the idea that we have two issues: 2141 and finding a new space. I don't think leaving 2141 needs to be contingent on finding somthing new. Events can be spread across different venues while sudo members focus on finding a perminent space. We could even rent a smaller room in 2141 while this happends.


Just putting it out there...
