[dorkbotpdx-blabber] Who is NOT going to make it to the TechShop meetup?

[Donald Delmar Davis]

Ok so I don't know it it helps but I suppose the best way to weigh in  
on the issue is to say that the commute even with the carpooling  
(which is refreshing to see here) is too much time away from the  
bench and I have committed to filming a freind of mines band tonight  
so I am not going to make it and would appreciate passing on Thomas's  
request to meet somewhere closer. I am bummed.

Paul,

I think we should look at this. Let me know if you are going next week.


Don.
