[Blacklabcollective] CONFIDENTIAL - proposal

[Brendan Plummer]

Hey all,

It seems a decision has been reached on this already, but my two cents were that I was pretty much neutral. I don't really know much about fastcore fest to honest. However, all the concerns seem really valid and finding another spot might be easier for sure.

Love ya!
