[hackerspaces] Want a workshop by Mitch & others this summer?

[Mitch Altman]

Hey Will,

 

I'd love to make stuff with awesome children!  I'm adding you to my list of places to fit into the Tour.  I'll be in touch after a few days, to give me enough time to put together a preliminary schedule.

 

Thanks,

Mitch.
