Howdy! I live in Brooklyn and make all sorts of things. I've built web sites to help you get around NYC on the subway, made maps of where single people live, and figured out just how many people in Japan are baking cookies on Saturdays at 4:30 PM. Right now I'm working hard on Brooklyn Brainery, a Brooklyn-based organization that offers super cheap collaborative classes on really neat topics.
Has anyone heard anything from these guys? No updates and no rewards. : (
congratulations! I can't wait to hear about what you do with your new space. honestly, you guys have been so inspiring...every city should have a brainery (especially tulsa).
I love the idea. I hope you guys will expand into writing classes at some point too! Good luck with your goal

Emma, you should come take a class! We have a couple workshops coming up and new courses in July!
I had no idea you guys were doing this, it is awsome! Good luck!
Thanks for the tip, Ayelet!
