We've typically closed for long weekends around holidays - but since our full time members have keys, they're of course welcome to use the space during the days we have closed.
Of the options you've proposed, this sounds like a great opportunity to start unwinding yourself as an "opening" dependency, whatever that looks like. It'll be important in the long haul (there's a whole section in my workshop <http://indyhall.stagehq.com/> about this process). That can be done gradually, and holiday closings are a great time to prototype what that looks like. -Alex /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia On Thu, Sep 29, 2011 at 7:09 PM, Craig Baute - Creative Density Coworking < [email protected]> wrote: > Hey guys, > > I know it's early to think about this but a member asked today about > the closing between Christmas and the flipping of the calendar to > apocalypse 2012.
