I was there after.
Responsibility
Oakland nights should be responsible for the people after the event and clear them out since they brought them there. This is part of the responsibility of throwing the event
We had to do this when I was volunteering for art murmur at Rock Paper Scissors collective
You do not hold an event that large and attract that crowd then get absolved of all responsibility as soon as the party is over.
Cleaning
Oakland nights should pay a hundred dollars for cleaning and shooing guests away.
Their skill set is not in cleaning . They should pay someone preferably a small local business to do it . They made an effort but it was inadequate
It's fair to pay a cleaning professional and it will resolve most conflict
I think 99% of sudo room members do not have the skill set to get paid to clean so its unwise to suggest we get paid to clean the space .

"the smell of smoke," the smell of pot smoke that has been cause of some bad relations with George, also appears to be coming from outside the doors (not from people at SudoRoom smoking it inside). There were people smoking pot outside on Wednesday night, the door was pegged open, and the smoke got in and wafted upstairs as well. There are plenty of well-lighted safe places outside to smoke (whatever), that aren't close to the door: up or down the street a little, across the street, and in the side street behind building.

> Re. telling Oakland Nights Live that we can't host their event any more: Agreed with Max, that should be discussed & decided by the group at a regular meeting. Does anyone want to write to them and let them know that the email was premature and we haven't made a group decision yet? Also if this is going to be discussed on Wednesday night, it would be good to invite them into that discussion.

Thanks for making us aware of what can be done better, its really important we all work together on the cleaning issue.

Rusty perhaps you could be more specific about what was wrong, because I have a different understanding of their cleaning practices. Maybe it got dirty inbetween when you saw it and when they cleaned it. If so then I feel you are speculating on where the dirtiness came from.

>>>>> Jenny, . I also didn't see you at ONL, and during the hour following. I read that you sent an email to Oakland Nights Live with the phrasing "we can no longer..." at some point. I feel upset that you did so because I want messages claiming to be from sudo as "we" to be approved by all sudoers before they're sent. I would like to request that you don't send messages on behalf of sudo without consensus in the future.
