Hi, Jimmie,<br>
<br>
It was great meeting you and hearing your introductory talk at Allen
Hall tonight.<br>
As we discussed, I will be bringing 10 to 12 soldering irons,
diagonal cutters and solder<br>
from the MakerSpace to set up for your workshop between 6:00 and
6:30 in the South Rec Room at Allen<br>
Hall. You will be using the soldering irons for his Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday night workshops.<br>
Thank you also for agreeing to be with me on TechKnowLedge from 8-9
am Thursday on WRFU-FM 104.5<br>
I will post something about you and your residency at the blog I
keep for the show: <br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm so excited to hear that you're coming, we had a
wonderful time with Mitch when he visited Allen Hall. And
when Mitch came through he knew Stewart(one of the
makerspace urbana founders) and he asked our makerspace
for volunteers to help teach workshops. We were able to
have a few members show up each night to help teach and we
would love to do the same with you if that sounds like it
would be helpful. Just let us know. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, I don't know how packed your schedule is but if
you would like to visit the makerspace urbana at some
point and maybe get to meet some of the members I'm sure
we could set that up. Personally I would love to hear how
the "Hackers on a Train Workshop" turned out. Our space
did request to be a stop but it didn't fit the schedule
:-(.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And fyi Laura had asked about borrowing soldering irons
and <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">we have about 12 solder
stations and at least as many wire clippers we can lend
you for the week.</span> </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks! Looking forward to meeting you,</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are bringing another
hacker to Allen Hall who you might be
interested in. Below is his schedule. I’m
wondering if any of you are interested in
coming to help out like you did with Mitch
Altman? No pressure. This is very last
minute! But if it is of interest to you,
we’d love to have you.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, maybe you’d like
for him to visit the Urbana Makerspace? I’m
cc’ing him on this e-mail in case you’d like
to communicate directly.</p>
