Hi all! I'm excited to host this meeting, although a head count would be
good. We have a finite quantity of chairs.  I'll try to do snacks or
something too. Sudo is not that far from Coyote so a 2-part meeting might
be doable! I'd love to have everyone see this space to help imagine what
might be possible if we got the storefront space in sudo building, and/or
put in work studios into a different space.

See you all at 6 on Friday.
