I am a current press op with Alpha Chi! **yay letterpress!!**
I don't think there is a letterpress community at MIT... there are two(?)
student groups that have one, but they just use it for their own purposes. I
believe there is some sort of Boston-area community though... Len (who is on
this list) would know waaay more!
I am not sure what our policies are about usage, exactly... I will endeavor
to find out, and let you know!
I would also love to show you around, if Wed. afternoon doesn't work for
you!
