[KwartzLab] Getting a larger space, renting storage rooms for members -- thoughts?

[doug moen]

Thanks, Seth. You're not the first person to recommend that we look at
Artisan's Asylum. I'm now motivated to check out their web site, and
yes, email introductions would be appreciated.

Columbus Idea Foundry is another organization with a similar setup,
but I haven't had any contact with them, either.
