We'd like to invite everyone we know to a send-off for the biggest project we've undertaken so far: turning 1609 S Rogers from a bare warehouse into best hackerspace/makerspace around. To celebrate the time we've enjoyed here, we'll be grilling burgers and hot dogs, plan on playing some tabletop and outdoor games, will have a donation "sale" of purgatory items, and will be having a generally good time. We'll start the grill around 11 and will welcome any sides and drinks that people want to bring, but feel free to just bring yourself. If you have a project you worked on in the space that you are particularly fond of, please bring it to show off. See you on Saturday!

Tonight will be Bloominglabs' final public night in the current space! Come join us, hang out, geek out, and if you're one of the few proto-members who have been coming to get your 3 meetings in before the move, tonight's the night! Our next official public meeting will be February 7, 2018, though we'll have build-out and move-in days before then. Our new space will be at 1840 S Walnut St., in the far side of the building. Mark, our new landlord, has been working hard to make sure the building and exterior will be welcoming, and we hope to make sure the space itself is ready for hacking, making, and general nerdery by the beginning of February. The laser is still connected (either 12 or 8 days past when it "should've" been moved, based either on initial or secondary estimate) so if you need to make new years glasses or somesuch, come do it tonight. (Or just come join me in singing my favorite makermas song: "O laser rays, o laser rays, how blinding are your sparkles!")

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: We had an excellent day today! Our lease is official, and will start on Feb 1. We got a lot moved into storage and into a staging area inside the new space. Nathan installed an RFID key reader and strike at the new space. Adam ferried tons of stuff to the new space. Kyle and his family got the garage door down. Heath was kind enough to foster the laser at his house until we're ready to move it into its new home. We saw some friends we haven't seen in quite a while. More personal property was claimed and taken to its proper home. There's still a lot to do tomorrow, and I hope you'll join me to finish the move. We'll start again at 10am, but will be done long before people have to leave for their respective New Year's events. Stay warm, hug a laser.
