I've been a member of the Dojo since the first August weekend when a bunch of us turned up to sweep and clean the space, so pardon my bias but... This is a really unique place and has a totally different atmosphere during business hours, weeknights and weekends, but there are almost always friendly people there doing something interesting. Plus 3D printers! Seriously, one of the reasons the City of Mountain View is having a bit of difficulty dealing with us, IMO, is because they really have nothing comparable here or nearby. For the curious, I encourage you to drop by--we don't charge just to sit and work for a day and most events (listed at http://events.hackerdojo.com http://events.hackerdojo.com) are free or low cost and open to the general public. One membership benefit, though, is you may attend events without paying if there is a fee. Most Friday nights we have a happy hour, if you, um, like that kind of thing.
