CooperBricolage gets the most word-of-mouth and people showing up when we have specific events; specific calls to action. The www.cooperbricolage.com blog is full of descriptions of the different events, including parties, workshops, and brainstorming sessions. I was asking some folks in the cafe yesterday -- people who weren't yet familiar with coworking -- for their advice on how they'd describe coworking. One gal who does photography had met Tony at an event held in the basement. Something about the event attracted her, even though she'd never heard of coworking before. It was a way in for her. While she described the event to me, a guy who's in school for product design and was sitting next to us overheard. He got interested in coworking too, even offering ideas for how we can grow the referral business, and telling me about a tech project he was looking for a coventurer on. All their interest started because of a workshop that cooBric hosted. -Alex -- Alex Linsker on the cooBric governance committee, and also a participant at Jelly in New York City.
