[Imc-makerspace] Maker moving to town

[Sunah Suh]

Hey James, I'm personally moving away from the area, alas, but given your
interests you'll probably want to check out our bike co-op, The Bike
Project, which is also located in the IMC, and the local homebrewing club,
B.U.Z.Z.

The Bike Project: http://thebikeproject.org/
B.U.Z.Z.: https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ro/www/BoneyardUnionofZymurgicalZealots/

Hope you enjoy your time in Chambana! I miss it already!

-Sunah
