Adafruit sells them too but it looks like they are all out of stock. So David might be your man. If I can help any other way you can contact me @thom_nic or [masked]December 5

Hi - New member of the group :)
On the waiting list for the Dec 4th project night.
Is the night really packed - or can I still show up - given that it is the holiday season, and not all that signed up will show up?Thank you,

Muthu, I know the wait list is frustrating, but please honor it. We take likelihood of attendance into account when setting the limits. Don't worry, though: often in the days leading up to the event, as people double-check their plans, they update their RSVP, and the wait list empties.
