tl;dr: Next meetup 11/26 @ New City Brewery, Table at Stars and Skulls Crafty Craft Fair on Sun 12/15, keys are almost in hand
Hi All!
Our next meetup is going to be at New City Brewery again on Tuesday 11/26 from 6-9. Looks like this is a busy time of the year for a lot of venues so there does seem to be a musical performance there the same night, however we should still be able to grab a few seats at the tables on the bar side for our usual chat session.
Speaking of tables, we’ve been invited to set up an info table at the Stars and Skulls Crafty Craft Fair on Sunday 12/15 from 12-4 (11-5 including setup & take down) at the Northampton Center for the Arts. It’s a self-described "alternative craft fair for freaks and geeks" that’s been happening since 2005. Lots of fun and unique artists and crafters from around the valley, and a great place to connect with the community. So I’m looking for a few people who would be interested in staffing the table with me to talk up MakeFixHack and our (soon to be) new space. As usual, let me know at this email, on discord, or at one of our meetups, and we’ll plan an exciting table to show off what we’re doing.
And yeah, we’ve cleared what I hope is the last major hurdle before getting into our space so we’re hoping to have access to it very soon. I know things are busy with the holidays coming up, but as soon as we have keys in hand we’ll start getting things set up and will definitely need a few extra hands as we get things arranged. I’m really excited to be taking this next step and having a physical space for our community. We won’t immediately stop doing our meetups and such at outside venues, but we’ll also have so many more possibilities available to us with our own space.
Be safe and keep making things!
