<div><div dir="ltr">Dear All,<div><br></div><div>I just wanted to
confirm that we are indeed still meeting this Friday at 6pm if that
still works for everyone. At the moment I'm still trying to get us
access to the Berkeley space that we discussed before for the possible
East Bay DIY Bio hacker space but no word yet. So we have a choice</div>
<div><br></div><div>1. Meet at a Cafe/Bar/Restaurant (possibly Saturn
Cafe) in Berkeley at 6pm</div><div>2. Alternatively, we could meet back
at Sudo room at 6pm just before the hacker happy hour and talk for a
while as people arrive until about 7/7.30pm?</div>
<div><br></div><div>My preference (for simplicity) would probably be
Sudo Room</div><div><br></div><div>Let me and our fellow Biohacker
members know if you have a preference?</div><div><br></div>
