Interesting Post I saw
We (The coIN Loft in Delaware) have tried free days. No one showed up.
However, when we couple it with our bi-weekly brainstorming event,

me anything, it's don't get high on your own supply.
Jellies are complimentary to
The biggest problem is that no one will hold a jelly in Fort Wayne. I
have spoken to numerous people - techs, etc. - if social time, ran by
a big wig group, people come, but anything that requires work, they
have no desire to be a part.
It's Fort Wayne.

Citizen Space has always had free drop-ins. Unlimited. We put signs up for a
paypal donation if people wanna. But that has been our #1 marketing tool to
getting people in. They become so comfortable in the space that they start
to rely on it. Those days they can't get in (dropins can only get in
We have run free hour @ Xindanwei for three month from April to June, the most
successful one is in June: Take as many friends as you like, you may work the

they worked 5 hours for free. lol
