I just moved the DC examples into their own section and added the Infoshop and Affinity Lab

Added wordstudio and AIGA link, this was a really great event at VCU, related post at welovejeff.com

I added The New York Mills Regional Cultural Center in Minnesota after reading an article in Wired about John Davis, the Centers Founder. I thought that this had some great ideas that could be brought to our project. The Center holds an Arts Retreat location where artists can apply to leave at their farm for a time and focus solely on the art they are creating. Also they hold Think Off's where people hold philosophical conversations in front of live audiences at the center. All these are wonderful additions to our project.

I love the idea behind The Eyebeam Openlab, check out there ultra cool introduction:
"The Eyebeam OpenLab is a home for artists, engineers and hackers pioneering open source creativity. The first initiative of its kind, the lab is focused entirely on incubating experimental technologies and media that directly enrich the public domain."

Added the Urban Land Institute after reading Urban Land magazine. I thought that this might make a good reference for people that want to know more about urban planning kind of things.

Added the Creative Capital Foundation. They gave Miranda July and friends a grant for coming up with the learning to love you more project, a really cool site with interactive assignments that teach you to love more and also really great practice for creative individuals, kind of like Ze Frank trying to get people to contribute, check it out @ learningtoloveyoumore.com

This years Circuit Bending Festival in NYC took place at The Tank. The Tank is this really cool place that offers space for artists and dissidents alike. I thought it was really cool space so I added it to the inspirations page.

Added DCTV (Downtown Community Television) which is a project in NYC that is best described by their own website.
" DCTV is the most honored independent nonprofit media center in the nation. Its productions, reaching over 100 million viewers each year, have received 15 national Emmy Awards, 3 duPont-Columbia Awards, and every other major award in the television field. In recognition of DCTV's artistic integrity and social commitment, the organization was awarded a highly competitive National Endowment for the Arts "Leadership Projects for the Millennium" grant."
Awesome project check out there website for more details, this is an other example that proves that this project is viable.

Added WTOP article on d.c. space. Go check out the article and listen to the audio portion, it's really cool to hear about a space like mine that was successful for close to 20 years. I'm really excited to hear about stuff like this. Please check it out and be as excited about it as I am.

Added a bunch of links, check out Gallery 5, it's the best gallery here in Richmond and their taking on community action next. Very cool and makes me very excited about this project having a chance.

Added a link to an amazing center that highlights a possible membership possible based on merit and need, but allows for people to "pay" there way in. But never replacing someone in needs spot.
Check it out The Gary Comer Youth center is stunning.

Added a link to a really cool magnet school in NYC called New Design High School.Saw video for it on rocketboom.com, check it out, just search in on rocketboom's website.

Added some links from my trip to Chicago as well as the Fort Reno Annual music festival in DC. Very cool stuff.

Added a link on the building page about coop retailing and also a link here about an idea of a build it yourself personal literary magazine. This be cool because we could rotate frequently the kinds of pieces we would have out on exhibition and then when people brought them up to the counter they could be bound.
