Yeap. Might be better not to have the expense and expectations of a brick and mortar that get in the way of associations of like minds. Dinner gatherings once a month and larger fairs once a year would probably suffice.

If municipality governments had any common sense, they would find ways to manage the risks and benefits of opening fix-it and make community centers.

For the last six years or so, our local Makerspace has hosted a weekly electronics and technology meetup on Thursday evenings. The electronics lab is pretty quiet most of the week, though as an arts/crafts-focused space, the fiber arts and stained glass spaces are much busier. On Thursday evenings, though, there normally 5-15 people who show up and hack on hardware/software, show off projects, or just chat tech. electronicsnight.com.
