[dorkbotpdx-blabber] Free Robot

knowing what it usually costs to get "event space" like we get at PNCA from
Paige. I say give her the first right of refusal.

If she doesn't want it, a group hack might be interesting.

In other groups getting space to do things is a costly and a pain in the
butt. I for one think it is very cool that we can use the space there.
