I was super exited to hear about a coworking weekend but was swiftly disappointed to see it taking place in CA. I'm the community manager at Projective Space, a co-working space in SoHo, NYC and I'd love to support/organize/help produce a similar event here in NY. I look forward to hearing feedback from the weekend.
