[sudoroom] Art murmur planning - meet this week?

[rachel lyra hospodar]

Glad to hear you are on the mend, tracy! I guess tonight was too soon to
get a meeting together. How do folks feel about Friday? I am working my
store on Friday, till 6pm close, if folks are into it we could meet there?
It might be fun.
