Moxie, this sounds like a blast!
A couple complications spring to mind:
- Noisebridge charging money to get in. I would think that some
people would object to having to pay to get in. Perhaps if there was a
separate, cordoned-off area, people could enjoy the space while paid
attendees can still be differentiated.
- Would the purchase(s) be made immediately? I would think that it
could be difficult to rent a bouncyhouse, band, clowns, etc. on short
notice.
Otherwise, I think it's an interesting idea.
Cheers,
