This does interest me but I will be out of town that evening. My needs are mostly for occasional meeting space/working space with wifi at a good price. I am currently using Starbucks for this. ;-)

What has happened with Indoor Playground? http://indoorplayground.ning.com/

I am also been thinking about whether I fit in with the goals of the Centre for Social Innovation for this purpose. http://www.socialinnovation.ca/

Interested exploring a different vision, though. Maybe a venue that encourages cross-pollination of ideas; opportunities for collaboration.

Cheers,
Connie Crosby

Ooo, same night as the Toronto the Good party at Distillery District, so I'm torn. Great initiative!

connie - ip shut down last year, unfortunately. it was a great space, but the reason i heard was that the building landlord jacked up the rent when the lease was up for renewal, and it became unmanageable.

csi is a fabulous space, but yes tenants need to fit with their mandate, and kudos to them for keeping true to their initiative.

we want to start a general space, much like what ip was, and open it up to anyone who has full time, part time, and drop in needs, as well as rent out the space for events, meeting space, etc.

This suggestion may likely be obvious - however, have you guys thought of connecting / extending / collaborating with the Center for Social Innovation http://www.socialinnovation.ca - perhaps this initiative has a
different focus, etc, however there may be lots of in common, synergies, etc?
