Part of the chaotic joy of the TFP is that it pulls in people from all over the world on a regular basis... the other aspect is that it is anonymous (it is always easier to tell you secrets and passions to strangers than it is to aquantences that could look at you askance...)
It is for those two main reasons that I don't see a Tilted Cafe working as well as one would hope.
Believe me I love the concept and one of my dreams is to open my own coffee house - a place for good coffee, great conversation, art, performance, etc. There is a possibility that this could get off the ground. But it is all about location.
As for the Tilted TV... Television licenses are costly. If you were to set up streamed video on the Internet or Internet talk radio I think you might be able to pull this off...
...you can have contributions from around the world available from a central server. It would still be costly (bandwidth and production) but nowhere near as expensive as conventional TV but with the added bonus that it could be screened around the globe rather than limited to the broadcast range of your transmitter.
