Noisebridge SF might shutdown
From Shannon Lee via Noisebridge-announce: Hi All, We have a problem. Actually, I think we have several problems, but we have one major manifestation of our problem: We are broke. We are not going to be able to pay February's rent at the current rate of input/output. We're currently taking in about $2500/month in dues & donations, and we're spending about $5000 in rent and utilities and whatnot. This is a dramatic drop-off from this summer, when we were doing a little better than breaking even. So, no joke, Noisebridge may close its doors in February, unless we can solve our problem. This is way past the time for "let's have a party and charge money!" -- the thing we need is for people who don't want Noisebridge to close to reach into their wallets and shell out some cash. Some of you will have noticed the new donation box with a sign that says "It costs $165 per day to keep us open"
