HI all, Three cheers for TEW panel moderator, Keeva Kase, who discovered our discussion on the google coworking group and worked hard to track me down and invite me and the Katie from Mercury Studio and Vinci from the Perch.
It was last minute, so Vinci couldn't make it, but Katie and I did and I got to sit on the panel. I think it was a good panel discussion. And it was very encouraging to see interaction among the different spaces in the area in a way that I have seen in other cities but has been sorely lacking in the triangle. I hope its a good omen. :-) Big thanks to Keeva Kase of Bull City Forward for making this happen!
