[sudoroom] Painting

[Marina Kukso]

hi tracy,

thank you so much for investigating! i think before we can decide whether
or not to opt for the art murmur fees, it might be best (as patrick
suggested) to check with george regarding having the space open for people
to walk around during art murmur. (if it helps at all, i went by last night
to show the spot to my folks and the doors were wide open and a packed
improv performance had people coming in and out.)

would someone want to contact george about this (i would but i'm not sure
if it would be best for someone else who has already been in touch with him
to contact him?)? either way, eddan and others have his contact info.

ps - unfortunately i can't make a painting appointment tomorrow...has a
general meet up time been set up for hacking on art murmur ideas? perhaps
tomorrow afternoon would be a good time if people can make it. (also, do we
need to check before painting the walls or are we sure we can go ahead and
do that?)
