[BNM] geek cafe feedback

[Acumen]

Haha, excellent. We spent the whole of 2006 downstairs at what is now Skiff.
There is not a single window, was choking to work in... not what I would;
describe as a "high performance environment" :)

Although before that it was an anarchist cafe (actually the 'terrorist
cafe')... it seems to have a history of holding some "interesting"
inhabitants... 

Now at the Werks, which is definitely a nice home..

We have a number of ideas and also it's a case of see how it goes. If
we prove a success in the fact people need and want the space then all
the better, we could get funding for a larger space.

More and more people are working from home these days and need
somewhere to get out but there's not a lot of infrastructure for it
around - we're just adding another on the list of cool spaces to go to
in Brighton to work and network - http://thewerks.org.uk/
http://theskiff.org to name but a couple.
