So, me and my friends are starting up a hackerspace called SkullSpace Winnipeg. We've been working at it for a little over a month (mid-December), and things are going super well! We don't have the actual space left (hopefully very, very soon), but things are getting exciting.
All our info (twitter/facebook/mailing list/blog/flickr/youtube/etc) is on our site, http://www.skullspace.ca
A local university newspaper did a story about us today:

It's exciting!
Do any of you have hacker/builder/makerspaces in your towns? If so, do you visit them?
First I've ever heard of them. But from what I've read, they range from some guy's mom's basement to a LAN cafe?
They're typically a working space where people can get together and work on stuff. Typically a big open room is used, but you can call anything a hackerspace in theory :)

Oh dear god rofl
And who says nothing ever happens on here? That's golden!
I think I'm an honorary member of SkullSpace (they sent me a cupcake!), and I'm working on ideas to get money out of my parents to join Sector 67 (http://www.sector67.org/). I made my first visit on Saturday and fell in love. I'm not a hardware guy but the idea of having a building of nerdism available to me at 2AM is absolutely intriguing, and if I fall asleep on the couch, they'll poke me in the morning!
