well that sucks... we just got all the parts together for our reactable which may or may not have drawn more interest, and then the other boot drops. well it looks like i will have been able to go a total of two times. its been fun as far as finding a new space or meeting in living rooms and parks, hopefully we can get enough people to stick around for long enough until we can find a new space. i guess the idea was good it just need more action earlier in the game. but i guess it was fun while it lasted. thanks for hosting it as long as you did.
