In case you weren't clear, we are moving

in on June 1. This means moving our... actually lots of metric tons of

stuff. We will have at least a week after moving in that we still have

our existing space, and we can start moving in some of our equipment up

to a few weeks before move-in.

This is a call for volunteers and a repository for things you consider

important about how we should execute the move. This is not the place

to discuss the lease, who is in charge of the move, why we are moving

(besides that this space is bigger, will be easier to deal with legally,

and... is bigger), etc.

Can you help? Do you have a truck/large vehicle? Do you have want to

show up and be fed and beered while you carry heavy objects? Do you

want to feed and beer people while they carry heavy objects? This is

your moment!
