[Makerspace-keymembers] Fwd: Mitch Altman is back! Lets have some fun!

Thu Feb 6 01:22:22 UTC 2014

I have a guest room, and as long as a futon is acceptable to sleep on,
Mitch is welcome any time. I have a preference for that Saturday for
workshops - I've already made plans for the Sunday, but if I can't make the
workshop, no worries.

Regards,
Erich
