<b><u>Question</u></b>: If YOU were to crash at a Hackerspace you were visiting, for a day or a week, what would be your ideal experience? What resources would you want available?<br>
<br>We accidentally made bunks at The Brain Tank and realized we could start offering them to visitors. So far we're thinking between personal recommendations/street cred, a simple signed agreement (If you break it you buy it), holding onto something of value such as a credit card number, RFID key access control, and our video security system (or any combination of them) would do the trick to differ the interest in theft.<br>
<br>We do need a shower though. That would be huge. Possibly have some ramen and coffee available should budget allow. Lockers would be good.<br><br>The Brain Tank in Providence is very walkable. Lots of art, great places to eat/booze, cheap food stores within 2 blocks, huge mall and cinema within 3, music venues, comedy events, river within throwing distance, beaches within 30minutes drive/bus route, art shows, and generally cool folk (very low crime in the areas i travel)... Every weekend is a vacation here and I dig showing people around (you can use my Kayak or eBike and show yourself around too).<br>
I'd like to get the concept formalized a bit further so we can start offering basic sleeping quarters. <br><br>Everyone responding has helped quite a bit already. <br><br>-Dave Johnson<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>Quite comfortable couches I can say, yet getting all the blinkenlights<br>
to stop blinking while still being able to charge your laptop overnight<br>
is a bit of a challenge :)<br>
