21:25 < jokeefe> how did your radio appearance go?
21:25 < Bluestreak> Jason said it went well. He is biased.
21:26 < Bluestreak> Mike liked it enough to invite me to the studio
21:26 < Bluestreak> “as soon as you feel up to it”
21:26 < Bluestreak> So
21:27 < Bluestreak> I will do an in studio hopefully before Cory
21:27 < Bluestreak> let’s set a date and place for that
21:27 < jokeefe> working on it.  Tentative date is 10/13.
21:28 < Bluestreak> excellent. I want to have that locked down before
        I go on TYJ
21:28 < Bluestreak> REached out to Rene about how to best promote
21:28 < Bluestreak> on local soc media
21:29 < jokeefe> good, thank you.
21:29 < Bluestreak> like what are the “hip” local boards and how to
        reddit best in Boston
21:29 < Bluestreak> he got back to me but then I had to go to bed
21:29 < Bluestreak> but he is eger to help us promo cryptoparties
21:30 < Kendra> I am on the warpath against weasels and I am going to
        go ahead and say the Rene is an unrelaible and untrustworthy ally and
        I won't deal with him.   For the record
21:30 < Bluestreak> sigh.
21:30 < Kendra> Too many weasels in the mix and the gotta go if you want
        accomplish anything
21:31 < Kendra> Sigh away
21:31 < Kendra> I choose quality over quantity
21:31 < Bluestreak> I needed Patrick and Sarah’s help with the fund
        raiser.
21:31 < Bluestreak> I refused their help because of your objections
21:31 < Bluestreak> and I did not fare well alone
21:31 < Kendra> They are weasels
21:31 < Kendra> Better alone than in bad company
21:32 < Bluestreak> jokeefe?
21:32 < Kendra> I say, but do as you wish.  Talk to suren about them
21:32 < Kendra> I'm tired of BS
21:32 < Kendra> I'mn not doing this for apopularity contest
21:32 < Kendra> My people are under attack I have no time for nonsense
21:33 < jokeefe> Whom we each talk to doesn’t affect anyone else
21:33 < jokeefe> Point so noted

21:41 < jokeefe> Bluestreak, what is amiss with the sign up form?
21:41 < Bluestreak> look at it
21:41 < Bluestreak> where do you sign?
21:41 < Bluestreak> the button sucks
21:41 < Bluestreak> hard to see
21:42 < jokeefe> Yes, the lets Table button seems faint
21:42 < Bluestreak> “sign up here"
21:42 < jokeefe> Could just link to
        https://masspirates.org/crew/civicrm/event/register?id=8&reset=1
21:42 < Bluestreak> “let’s table” is confusing

21:46 < Bluestreak> If jokeefe can break down and bring the gear home
        (to Somerville temp)
