It’ll be okay, Daedalus.  You bought a parachute, right?

And, on the east coast, if you find yourself passing by, stop by the Tech Valley Center of Gravity. We'd happily give you the grand tour, let you take a look at tools, systems, talk to whomever you want, and show off our $3m building project. :)

If you end up heading down towards the east southeast, look up Makers Local 256 in Huntsville, Alabama's oldest and most well established maker space. Tuesday evenings are when they generally welcome visitors and the general public, They are well supported by Huntsville's engineering and tech community. They've been very helpful on my visits up the road. 

On that same trip, you can hit Birmingham's Red Mountain Maker space, in Birmingham's Woodlawn neighborhood. We're 10 months in our space, past two years as a working group, and transitioning, bit by bit, into a reasonably well established non-profit makerspace. Sunday > Thursday evenings are interesting times to stop by, with some advance warning. With arrangement, I can also meet you at the space during the day. 

If you wish to continue down I-65 to the Gulf Coast, Foomatic in Montgomery, and the Mobile Makerspace are at similar points of growth.

MakeICT recently received a small amount of grant money to create a business plan and develop our makerspace.

I'd like to send a couple of our board members to a couple of different places so that we can see firsthand what your space is like. Floor plans are great, but the atmosphere has to be experienced.

We've lurked many of your websites/wiki's and have already learned so much from this community.

 We've even modeled different aspects of our organization after some of your examples.

There are a couple of places 

that we have in mind for visiting already, but I thought I'd post here first to see who might be willing to host a couple of us some time.

So, who's up for a visit?

President, MakeICT
