[sudo-discuss] Fwd: The Omni

[David Keenan]

Thanks Eddan for clarifying.

Im sad i missed the joint meeting with CCL re: moving in - we definitely
need more meatspace strategizing on making a 3-way move like that happen -

I'm really happy that marina and y'all are checking out the Omni and other
potential spaces - I'm going to start looking pretty hard and get BAPSers
in on this too - sounds like a guesstimated combo
sudo/baps/ccl monthly budget would be ~$4500, does that seem about right?

Re: SUDO moving into the Omni, it sounds super cool and personally I have
no problem with the location - but I do think if there are ppl living in
the space, that might make it challenging - conversely if there are lots of
loud shows there, that might make having a class tough? And more or
less importantly.. are there windows in the Omni space? It's be great if
whatever space SUDO moved to had more natural light..
