Startup Weekend Vancouver happened at the start of June. People came out from all across the west coast to attend, as far north as Vancouver, BC and as far south as San Luis Obispo, CA. I'd like to say that it was a blast and fun to put on this event but it wasn't. Like most non-profit events, we had a lot of moving parts and at one point had setup a GoFundMe page because we thought we had more expenses than actual revenue from sponsors and ticket sales. Fortunately we were in the black with some budget money leftover for future events.

Shared Office Space
I'm a bit intrigued by the shared office workspace being pitched by PivotDesk at Seattle Tech Meetup. Seems to take the contract management and billing hassles out of subletting office space, coupled with the host office providing other services (utilities, high speed internet, conference room, etc) which might not defray actual overhead costs.
Certainly there are far more pros than cons for the Guest; I'm not sure what else the Host office gains out of this arrangement other than a monthly sublet fee paid to them.
