If i may help summarize the mood as I saw it at the time for those in the back,
48 is still very new, with double the space and a seemingly never ending list of projects: member's money is flying out the doors with no end in sight, the saying 'give till it hurts, then come back tomorrow' feels like it should be the motto. The word from the treasurer is "we're broke - doubt we can afford heat, give me a receipt and i'll.... (magic?)", and the calender relentlessly approaches opening day. A member everyone loves at the moment generously offers to trade some space for some monthly cash (as if he hasn't donated enough already), and as a bonus, extra shelves to use as wall dividers until real walls can be afforded. Who could possibly be against such a donation at that time? /end my mood at the time On Mon, Mar 3, 2014 at 10:56 AM, Torrie Fischer <[email protected]>wrote: > On Monday, March 03, 2014 10:13:08 Omar Rassi wrote: > > My understanding from conversations at the space about this was that the > > racks would have plywood walls built onto them so that they can be > > separated from prying eyes and sticky hands.
