Nope, sorry. This weekend is too soon, and November cuts us way too close to the planned move-in start of December 1st. It'll take some time for the lease to be drawn up, and some more time after it gets returned to Tony for utilities to be planned, installed, and configured for us. I'm estimating that if the lease isn't brought to us on that day, it'll take 'till the 1st of November to receive it. Then at least 'till the 6th to meet with Tony to plan where our outlets are going, etc. Add another week or two to install things and adjust the space to fit us better into the overall plan of the building and our own requirements, and thats about 10 days of buffer should we hit any delays involving ordering parts/equipment/supplies/advertising material. Then we spend all of December ramping up projects and demos in addition to fine-tuning the location in time for Opening Day on January 5th. Maybe start planning a mini maker faire for spring. The official annual board meeting fits in December sometime too, but thats kinda irrelevant. > > On Wed, Oct 17, 2012 at 10:52 AM, Trever Fischer > <[email protected]> wrote: > Howdy, all! > > This mail is more or less verbatim of what I sent the board. > > I finally met with Tony yesterday, where him and I toured a > number of > Akron locations for the space. > > Out of the three, I feel the best option for us is 21 West > North St. > > http://goo.gl/maps/mzhpI > > It is approximately 2,500 square feet for $500/mo, which is > $0.2/sqft. > This includes electric, heating, water, sewage, and trash > service.
