Hi, Jellyers!

Has anyone else noticed the new sign on Market and Pearl St. (above
Octavia) that says "workclub"? It's in the space that was formerly
Get Lost bookstore. I've walked by and am curious if it will be a new
coworking space. Anyone hear anything about it?

Thanks,
Scott

Hey Scott,

I hadn't heard of it, but it looks like it's some sort of taskrabbit type deal where people do each other favors:

Still very beta, apparently, but you can check out the WTF/FAQ link for more info.

I heard this was started by Phillip Rosedale?

Thanks, Rob! And thanks, Senthil, for also sending over that info.

Sounds like workclub will be cafe-ish, but with a focus on providing a space for mobile workers. (As opposed to normal coffee shops, which still pretend to be just cafes, but in this town are overrun with mobile workers.)

Looking forward to it opening up. There are several other coworking spaces in town now, but they're mostly downtown or in SOMA. This will be a great addition to the mid/upper-Market/Mission area.

Scott
