Try the maker space on chapel

MakeHaven but to be clear it’s not a place to hit on people / get hit on by people, it’s a community organized around shared interests. So it depends what the OP means by “the old-fashioned way”.

Some people didn’t get that message at Makehaven because I’ve gotten creepy looks every time I went there 🤷🏼‍♀️

To be honest, it’s been multiple times with multiple people who’s names I don’t know. I’m actually leaving Makehaven for a number of reasons—they are wildly disorganized, people have disrespected equipment to the point it doesn’t work, and are very glib when it comes to problems being addressed to the point that it creates a very unwelcoming environment under the guise of it being very welcome. It’s unfortunate because I was very excited to join but I have had nothing but issues (including my card being charged additional fees). It’s honestly disappointing because it’s an awesome concept.

FYI the reporting form doesn’t require you to know their name, but obvs it’s up to you whether you’re gonna do all that work, esp if you’re already leaving. I wish it had been a more satisfying experience for you.

I'm really sorry to read this. One thing I love about makehaven is that is has a very open and diverse community that breaks traditional gender norms. If you and others are not feeling comfortable there, by all means let the staff know so we don't erode this community.
