[hackerspaces] The Club-Mate Design Pattern, now for US Hackerspaces!

[Matt Joyce]

NYC Resistor buys about a pallet a year.  We sell it year round.

It works for us.

I suggest buying direct from germany, not through 2600.  At a pallet or
above there is no reason to take on the overhead of going through a middle
man.
