[sudoroom] fundraising

[Ryan Bethencourt]

Hi Tracy,

It was really nice chatting with you on Sunday and I'm also very excited
about a new hackerspace opening up here in downtown Oakland as I'm a new
resident of the city as of about a week ago (I'm also still a member of
Biocurious).

One quick question, is there a Facebook invite for the Sudo Room Art Murmur
event? That might help with reminding people and helping other people use
social media to invite their friends (I have a feeling a lot of my friends
in SF and Silicon Valley would be interested).

All the best,
Ryan
