This is such a great idea, and it has been duplicated and modified by the North Corktown group around the Spaulding Court complex [[which was in another thread here, recently).

I think it should be encouraged in EVERY neighborhood in this city. There is no shortage of individuals willing to put a little into a pot which accumulates to become a large [[and hopefully effective) spark for fostering new ideas.


But yes, the networking alone was great. Met a young fellow who needs experience with graphic design, and another who is going to my new partner's alma mater, CCS. Both of these youngsters can benefit from our experiences and career trajectories.

Cheers and more,
John
