Venkat, As you may have noticed I am one of the folks who's been leading the coworking charge here in Baltimore.
And we are not, "far out," per se. :) Anyway, you may want to talk to Peter Corbett from iStrategy Labs (@corbett3000), Maxine Teller (@mixtmedia), and possibly Justin Thorp (@thorpus). All are plugged in to the current barcamp / coworking scene and you should seek them out for a conversation. Peter and Maxine are running the Government 2.0 camp and will probably also be at Transparency Camp this weekend (I may be there as well). I hear good things about Affinity Lab, but agree that they come across as more incubator than coworking, and that a proper coworking implementation is long overdue in DC. If there is anything I can do to help (besides shame DC into taking action :) please let me know.
