Could arrange a tour guide. Also, if Wed is better, maybe open for a social evening?<br><a href="https://twitter.com/tangleball/status/554590790354096129">https://twitter.com/tangleball/status/554590790354096129</a><br><br>It is not a big space so it won't fit 300 of you. So whoever organises this should check out how many they can fit in and still be a nice cosy visit.<br><br><br></div><div>Please note: It would be wrong not to warn you about the area since you are tourists and I am a local.<br>I would not walk around that area on my own at night. This area is probably known to have street prostitutes hanging around. On that side The NZ Prostitutes Collective's Auckland office used to be nearby. It appears to have moved a couple of blocks closer to queen st.. It is also the area where one long standing pacific island church calls home. <br><br> So please careful when you walk there. I would go as a group and leave as a group. <br><br><br>Note: <br>There's also a makerspace at the local library. It is in the
central library building that is at the corner of Queen + wellesley St.
I've just reached out to one of the organisers. There's a volunteer or
two at lca2015 who know auckland makerspaces better than I do.<br><br></div><div>regards<br></div><div>lin<br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jan 12, 2015 at 9:09 AM, Patrick Barnes <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:patrick.barnes@mindbleach.com" target="_blank">patrick.barnes@mindbleach.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">For those interested in hardware, hacking in the creative sense, etc, or are members of a hackerspace back at home; there's a hackerspace in Auckland called Tangleball.</p>
