[Blacklabcollective] Window coverings & ps security

[Brendan Plummer]

Hey,

The windows are all boarded up/styrofoamed except for that one spot and the
doors. It is very dim in there even with the mattress out of the window.

I don't think we need to do anything except move the speakers during the
meetings, and make sure things are secure afterwards.  I mean, I think it
is nice to have natural light for meetings and such. But I am also leaving
soon, so if the space is just going to be for shows/night events then maybe
the windows should be boarded up completely?

I think the priority for the space is getting the electrical sorted out so
we don't have extension cords running across the floor. But also if anyone
has a line on getting some (free?) better place-lighting that would be good
as well.

Talk soon,

Brendan
