Hot on the heels of the last post, I opened my RSS reader this morning to see that Warwick and This City Rocks were Scobleized.  Awesome!  Now we know where Scoble gets his news tips. ;)

Warwick was one of the first members to join WorkSpace.  He is an accomplished photographer and filmmaker who recently launched a video blog called This City Rocks.  TCR was originally intended to focus on the Vancouver music scene but it has been so successful that, after only a handful of episodes, it's going Canada-wide!  To learn more all the cool stuff Warwick does, check out his WorkSpace profile or his blog.

We've just uploaded our latest vlog entry, viewable here.  Despite a few delays importing machinery, the floor should be finished up today, and the ceiling is pretty much done.  Also of note is that we ordered all of our furniture!  We think that having comfortable chairs is going to be a really important part of what we have to offer, so we've ordered up some special seats...

From time to time we'll be highlighting the individuals and companies who have joined WorkSpace.  First up, we're excited to welcome Oak Bay Softrends to our growing family.

When the barcamp guys came by for a tour the other day, Roland snapped a few photos...check them out on Flickr.

Hey folks I know there's a group of you sitting on the sidelines watching as the space comes to life and waiting till then before you join.  If you are quite certain that you'd like to join our co-working community, and you'd like to save yourself some money, you should consider doing so tomorrow.

If you've got any questions please don't hesitate to send us an e-mail or give us a call.  If you'd like to sign up just fill out the .pdf file available on our membership page.

Our third vlog is up.  It has been a busy week and I was a little sleepy during the vlogging...I promise more fireworks next week!

The organizers of BarCamp Vancouver came to see us last night for a quick tour of the under-construction space.  They are considering WorkSpace as a possible venue for the event, which takes place August 25-27, 2006.

BarCamp is "an ad-hoc un-conference born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment".  It's like a tech conference except everyone who attends also presents on a topic of their choice and there is no predetermined schedule.

Nothing is confirmed yet, but we would be honored to host the first BarCamp Vancouver.  It's going to be a great time!

Last night Bill and I attended the Grand Opening of a new venue called Video Monster.  They are located just around the corner from WorkSpace at 1 Cordova St. West.  As far as I can tell the place is a hybrid video store/bar/live music venue.  Their website doesn't offer much information yet but I'm sure it will be updated soon.

The opening was well attended and the place was packed.  There was some great rock and roll action thanks to The Manvils.  I had an awesome time and I look forward to going again soon.  I encourage anyone who's in the area to check this place out.  Welcome to the neighborhood Video Monster!
