I live literally around the corner and haven't been in years. I was super excited about it, since having an awesome workspace available when I live in a 750sqft loft would be amazing. Trouble was that everything I ever wanted to use was broken, and everytime I went to try and get some help with a technical problem, there wasn't anyone with time or expertise to help me. But I got to spend a lot of time listening to random political rants and helping others with their questions. So in the end, if I needed to get something done, noisebridge wasn't the place for me to do it.
Granted, if I really wanted it to be something else, I could pay up, join the decision making groups, and help make it a better place. So the problem is mine as well. But I think a place run by, and with the ideals of, a bunch of crypto-anarchists will always funamentally be broken.
Feel free to PM me with when you're planning on going and if I'm free, I could me you there and bring my hot-air solder station that makes reworking a little easier.
