Mark your calendar for Cohere’s grand opening!  Join us on Friday, April 2nd from 6p-9p.

We’ll have a variety of activities to lure you here:

Jeremiah Tolbert will be displaying his nature and landscape photographs for your viewing pleasure.  This is especially handy if you’re going to be out and about at First Friday Art Walk.

Dave Hill will be delighting us with his excellent guitar playing.

Ron Marks will be teaching us about the finer points of wine and helping us with tastings.

Ana with Primal Echo will be here letting us sample her chocolates.  Do I need to say anything else about that?

Ladies, this is a rare chance for you to pull out your party dresses and guys, feel free to sport a skinny tie or your new hi-tops for us.

I met Lauren at a coworking Tuesday event.  Found out that she’s in the I/O (industrial/organizational) Psyche program at CSU which is what I got my undergrad in!  I’ve never met another I/O person outside of school before.  Read on to learn more about Lauren.

More progress at Cohere!  Sprucing up reception.  Amanda at Dolphin Feet just dropped off our signs and we’re enter the final stretch on the workstations.

“Cohere is all about collaborative, engaging, and creative productivity. It’s like no other working environment you’ve ever been 2” -Nick Armstrong

“Executive office suites can give you some perks, but coworking gives you some peeps. And that’s how I work best – as an independent spirit in an interdependent world.” – Julie Sutter, freelance writer and coworking convert

“Coworking motivates me and inspires me.  When I’m in a group of people working on their own projects, I feel much more inclined to power through work instead of giving into outside distractions.  Coworking is like my boss that I can tell I’m leaving for the day at noon if I feel like it.” –Suzanne Akin, freelance graphic and fashion designer

“Coworking is a perfect mix. There is productive time and social time. An opportunity to meet people for personal and professional collaboration. It’s fun, it’s productive…” – Skippy, photographer

Drew is here this week finishing up and installing our custom curved workstations.  To clarify-workstation does not mean “cubicle.”  Really?!  After every thing we’ve been through?  On the dockett this week:

Finish workstations

Install clear Lexan marker boards

Freshen up reception so it looks more like Cohere and less like a lawyer’s office

Hang ridiculously difficult to make curtains

Arrange furniture

Clean

Host PodCamp on Friday and Saturday!

Curtains, curtains everywhere.  This is my ma making the curtains for Cohere.  As Drew says, “Angel, we’re on the sea foam green train and we’re not getting off of it.”  Hey, when you’re dealing with unchangeable teal trim and walls, you have to learn to work it.  These 4 curtains are each 9 feet long and 5 feet wide.  To be installed in Cohere on Thursday.

Matt with KC Coatings (970-481-8086) gives Cohere a facelift.  Bright, new blue paint called “dolphin cove.”  How do you get the job where all you do is pick out paint color names?  Call up Matt if you have a commercial or residential paint job.  I called him on Sunday night and he’s already here painting on my tight deadline!

Our custom workstations in progress!!!
