Every time I want to go to an event at hacker dojo it seems like it gets canceled. Can I just go there and ... hang out?

  Due to the city? Can you explain that?

    Short version is the video at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/384590180/an-events-space-and-a-design-studio-for-hacker-doj http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/384590180/an-events-spac... The city of Mountain View has shut down more than half of Hacker Dojo, stopped all classes/events/conferences of more than 49 people, and is still threatening to shut the rest down unless the Hacker Dojo does about $250,000 in upgrades and fees to the city. Their concerns are primarily zoning, permitting, and ADA. Almost everything that isn't raising the money to keep the space open has sadly been put on the back burner for the last 6-ish months so we can keep the city from shutting us down.

      It would be useful if you listed the permits/regulations that you are violating, and why/how. I keep seeing "the city is shutting us down!" but that is not informative. What specifically are the issues? You would probably get more donors with full and complete information.

The point of this fundraiser is to make sure we can hold more events! After we pass code w/the City we will be able to hold events with more than 49 people and use the full 13,000+ square feet we're currently renting. Soon, my young Jedi, you will see the power of a fully operational...Dojo.

For sure you can go and just hang out. The website says something like a $10 optional donation. The first time I went they acted like I was the only person who had ever given it tho lol Bring your laptop, great place to kick it. If you like it, $100 a month for 24/7 access is one of the best deals I've come across.
