[SBU Board] Agenda for tonight

Mon Mar 2 13:32:11 PST 2015

Echoing Aaron's comments on the B swiss--I had one or two complaints on the
chaos of playing when the rest of the room was breaking down .... er, you
know what I mean.  I have a feeling Matt has some feelings about Sunday,
the difficultly of running so many events.
