Space stands firmly behind our free drop-in policy. Even in tight
times when it's tempting to try to charge hourly or daily, it really
is the drop-ins that make CS what it is. For me, that's the core of
what coworking at CS
Thanks to everyone who tweeted! No BART strike fortunately, but it
has been a good drop-in week for us.
Mike, would be interested to brainstorm about consciousness raising

Hello Tara,
Your recent thoughts on the topic has triggered some recent memories.

So... apparently 24hrs is too long to wait on such a great deal.
JetBlue sold out, leaving me without the opportunity I was

Not thinking co-op - that is, members pay in to get cash out. I'm saying philosophically, all members should help with the sustainability in ways that still directly effect the spaces bottom line. If you're going to do a class on photography - use the space instead of some other place. Bring in

Big companies close. Why not a little coworking space could?

I think coworking is at an interesting juncture. The commercial real estate
(CRE) market is about to tank, and it will take commercial rents with it.
Unfortunately, many of the current coworking spaces signed leases in the
middle of one of the largest CRE bubbles this country has ever seen (if
Is anyone running a cowork space in a rural setting? Seems it would be
a great direction, in that most rural areas are not connected to a fat
pipe. If there would be enough interest to bring a broadband line to
central location that the members could it seems it could be a viable
concern.
I think the key is to grow a nice community around the space. I think

You're welcome. What I find seems to be important in getting any group

have to become rituals, repeated
