[dorkbotpdx-blabber] lightbar is coming!

[Mykle Hansen]

yes! i'm sure we can work something out.  i don't stand too much on
formality but i'm psyched to have a meet-up about it.  the event
itself will be held in a temporary structure i'll be making in january,
and will be up all February.

if there were enough pieces that we could install for the whole
month, then it'd make sense to have some kind of opening early on.
however, i don't know what we have yet.

i'll be back in town on January 12th, so sometime shortly after
that would be a good time to meet and get strategic.  the deadline
would be the day of that opening -- perhaps the first weekend
in Feb.

my ongoing schedule conflict is that my band practices on the
same night as dorkbot meetings.  is it possible to meet up on
a different night for this particular topic?  really i'd rather have
it just be part of a normal dorkbot meeting, but i hate to make
everybody rescedule ...
