[FreeGeek] We have a building!

[Ifny]

Hey thanks Shane! It came just in time!

It's about 1600 square feet with common areas on 
top, so about 2000 obo.

Fittingly for geeks, it's near Science World ;)
Main & Quebec. In my mind, the location couldn't 
be better. Transit/bike route accessible, 
convenient for so many neighbourhoods & favouring 
none, central without having to deal with downtown 
traffic, and close to a gelato shop =O

We're not going to publish the exact address until 
we move in, just so that random folks don't start 
dropping off equipment until we're onsite.

Again, we'll need help with the move, so if anyone 
is available from the 31st of May to the 2nd of 
June, send an email to info at freegeekvancouver.org 
with the times that you're available. Don't worry, 
we won't use you for all the time you're free! 
It'll just help us orchestrate. Your phone number 
would be helpful too.

Gleefully,

Ifny
