= Discussions =
 * Basement/SPAZ: Jenny communicating to SPAZ re: repainting areas hit by graffiti at recent events before another SPAZ event can happen
 * Latin Percussion Classes happening? - if happening in Disco Room, good idea to check with CCL as the sound comes directly in
 * Move FYE to middle room and soundproof their old room for bands/rehearsals/sound stuff?? Such an investment would quickly get paid back
 * Joe: Friend of Max's, NORJC, wants to do an event on the 23rd of Nov - fundraiser for youth groups, son is a music producer - Oakland Police Youth League(?!), Oakland Firefighters, Breast Cancer, Xmas Gifts for Youth - don't think Max is a legitimate sponsor, not involved with it -
