Thanks Justin, I don't know whether something I wrote caused you to ask for patience...perhaps my comment about switching from Skull- to Co-work- space?
I'm just pointing out that now we are in direct competition with them more or less with regard to the space aspect if we continue exactly in the same direction. In at least a few of the rooms. And we don't even know how many of the rooms we have will be unique. I guess there is a distinguishing characteristic of what a SkullSpace member needs over what a New Media Member needs to the point that picking which space to buy a membership for will be an obvious choice to most people. And the rest can pay for both memberships anyway.
