I talked to TJ on the phone for quite awhile this week - you're a nice guy, TJ!
Since you haven't yet settled on a location, you could start with informal Jelly type sessions to gauge interest and begin to build the community. In another thread, Tara recommend building the community first, then approaching location/specifics second, when possible. And Alex reminds us that predictability is important. Conjunctured in Austin grew out of free, regular Jelly sessions, and Todd O'Neill of C4 Workspace (grand opening this week in San Antonio!) got his community off the ground with a regular-as-clockwork Coworking Tuesday in a wifi-equipped coffee shop, then followed with the dedicated space. I've found our monthly Brownbag lunch sessions at Firecat Studio to be an effective draw and good reputation-builder. Contacting the folks holding events - especially networking events of any kind - and joining the ones with which you have affinity, is also a great idea. Welcome to the coworking family, and best of luck. Please keep us apprised of your progress!
