Yesterday there were a couple of us working on the floor until I got to run to IKEA in the evening. With the help of Jason Tremblay, we loaded up a Philly Car Share car with 15 desks and a couple of chairs to test out. Back to the space, Bart, Jason and myself unloaded the car and went to work putting together the first couple of desks.
There are currently 6 desks assembled and another 9 waiting the hands of a drill-master…that drill master could be you! We’re done building desks…for now. We have 14 built (one had a damaged leg) and will be getting more pending turnout and attendance of the workspace. Our awesome upstairs neighbors are letting us borrow their wifi until Speakeasy comes on Friday to finish the commercial DSL installation. The final step will be the installation of the power and wifi gear provided by our friends at Belkin, and that gear should be here sometime this week.
We’re working hard to put everything else together, too…everything from whiteboards and trash cans to filing and storage and a pimped out conference room!
Our first official event is still on for this friday, but you’re welcome to stop by anytime to check the space out. We won’t be charging for use of workspace until September 1st, so this is your chance to see if we’re all we say we are!
Just drop us a note (here in the comments, or through our handy contact form) to let us know you’re coming down. No guarantees on chairs right now if a LOT of people show up, but we’ve got a bunch of new seating options showing up in the next week (chairs, sofas, etc). Best bet is to give us that bit of advanced notice so we can plan accordingly.
Bart and I are here, so come say hi! Oh, and bring coffee, we like coffee and don’t have a pot quite yet!

If you guys are going to be around, I might swing by at 4 or so. Should I bring anything? Power tools? Beer? Power beer?
