[Events] MS Nerd room request blurb

[Jessica T McKellar]

Hi all,

Below is a room request I'd like to send to my contact at MS Nerd 
<http://microsoftcambridge.com/>, Leah Brunson <lbrunson at microsoft.com>. 
Amendments are welcome, but in particular do the times and the number of 
attendees jive with what we want?

I'll introduce myself and our goals in addition to this request.

I'd like to send this in the next 48 hours.

One thing I think is important: there's the opportunity for an event URL. 
We should probably have one that we can give to people anyway, with a 
description of the workshop and some ethusiasm-inducing videos/images 
of the kinds of projects you might complete.

Who can host this URL? (I'm happy to, but 
jesstess.com/boston-python-workshop is not all that legitimate sounding)
How about something on openhatch.org?

-Jessica
