[Imc-makerspace] Help with workshops this Wed during Open Hours 7-9pm

[Brian Duggan]

Makerspace Urbana is located in studio 16 (the basement) of the
Independent Media Center. That's the old Post Office building North of
Lincoln Square. You may have to ask someone how to get downstairs, but
we'll be there at 7:00pm tonight.

Thanks for your mail, Jeff. See folks tonight!
