My name's Melanie and I work at a Regus center in Cupertino, California. I was interested to read your article and see our company's advert. As a recent hire, I have been intently reading about the state of coworking and its many incarnations; that's how I came to see your page. The center where I work is being called a Business Lounge, and its main purpose is to attract people who either travel or work from home, and need a place to get work done anywhere. This is a new concept for the company, but in Silicon Valley, it has been well received. For a yearly fee, we provide many areas for people to sit, with free internet, espresso, printing, phone use and access to any of our centers, worldwide. I'll get to my point. I am merely a college student, with no personal need for these services, but I have seen nothing but positive reactions to our lounge. I and others would like to see this really take off, and of course to do that we have to get the word out; that's why I'm writing you, a person specializing in the idea of coworking. So the answer is yes, there is collaboration, and it's really interesting watching everyone interact with one another: lawyers, real estate agents, software/ IT guys, scrapbookers (!), all coming together in one place.

Am I a future man? If so, I may need a cool new moniker. Something like, "Radium Boy" or "Prometheus: Lord of Tomorrow" or maybe just "Johnny Toronto". Can't wait for the book, guys!!!! I just got chills!

We would love to actually splice together a jam at one of the parties, and any advance notice regarding who plays what and what equipment might be required would be most useful. We all have contacts here in Austin who play music (which includes just about every other person), so if we have enough lead time I'm pretty sure we can arrange instruments, amps, the space (and of course the beer) to actually have a jam where the peeps get up and play. (We'll even let Tony sing) The music might suck, but the crowd will rock, you know that's for certain!!! Hey Man-
