[fvc-wat-disc] Notes from Tuesday's organizing meeting

Fri Dec 9 20:54:48 EST 2016

Yeah, but depends on the kind of hat. I can't see how we can write on any
of these things:

 Those markers work (not great) on a cotton t-shirt.

I think we need some kind of patch to pin on or sticker if we're talking
about for a lot of us to wear on Tuesday.

For Trudeau, he would have to have a nice hat. I think.
