 I am in conversation with the director. Next weeks talk is on AI and the implications of Neurolink, Kind of a debate around the future for humans related to computers. The director is waffling on me because we were talking about teaching the boomer crowd about buying bitcoin and self custody. I got him to download an exchange app and showed him how to use a self custody wallet with a signing device, But he feels like it will overwhelm the crowd. Either way Hunter I do want to introduce you to Dustin. We need to get bitcoin developers working at the City Club as right now it is just old people and Boulder professionals spending time on their laptops in “public” when they could be working from home. There are a few people with bitcoin that got in early but nobody is building on bitcoin there, And that needs to change. Dustin is still in the web3 shitcoin avenue, And I am showing him the relevance of running a node, Using bitcoin specific apps like BTCpayserver, Running a lightning node, Ect. Please do come the 5th, The indecisive retired director will figure out what he wants to do in the meantime. If nothing else you will get a free lunch. There is an RSVP process, But don’t worry about that, I will vouch for you. 
 Classic case of the herd following the AI mania. Sad but I get it. The coworking space I used to be at (kiln) was not interested in bitcoin and went all in on AI. people sadly do not think bitcoin is relevant to them. I’ll be there on the 5th. @HunterBeast hope you can make it too 
 Sure thing! 
 although it doesnt seem to be on anymore. the nocoiners are not interested in being Saved at this juncture . we are in a holding pattern 
 I just realized, I've been to the place you're describing many times. I started a startup once with one of the tenants, who operates a legal practice there. Small world! I'll be sure he's invited. What floor will it be on? 
 The lunch is in the basement, But the guy organizing lunch has renigged on me, So I won’t be speaking. I am sure Dustin will still host you for lunch anyway, He is going to need competent coders to bring people from the bitcoin world into the space. I am having lunch with him this week, So I will bring this up to him, But if you are still on for the 5th that is perfect, I just need to get him to make plans to meet with you guys. I am going to have lunch with Dustin, And Eric Yakes this Wednesday to discuss how we can make a partnership. Trying to talk with Odell and other bigger bitcoiners to organize a fund so the City Club can turn into a bitcoin citadel. Stay tuned, I will get back to you with more solid plans. 
 Love it 
 Sounds like we are on for the 5th. When you get there ask for David or  Dustin.
