Are you a freelancer who works from home but find yourself too distracted to get stuff done? Do you camp out at coffee shops with your laptop and find yourself bouncing off the walls after 17 cups of coffee? If this describes you, then you need to try coworking. Coworking is people like yourself sharing common space & resources for the purpose of getting stuff done.

Join us for an all day open house on Wednesday, December 17th. The Hat Factory is opening her doors for an open day of coworking. We'll have drinks & snacks on hand, you just need to bring yourself and your laptop.

Another great story on coworking, this one in the New York Times. This article's author Lisa Belkin, is a work from home writer who decided home wasn't always conducive to getting things done. She explored a coworking space in Connecticut which turns out to be a bit more formal than the Hat Factory (we don't care how you dress here). Lisa talks to several coworking operators including myself here at the HF.

More media coverage on this great movement we call coworking. The San Francisco Chronicle did a pretty good job describing the value, history and sense of what coworking is all about. As is mentioned in the story, the Hat Factory came into being as a coworking space shortly after Brad Neuberg and others were looking for a more permanent place to call home. Now we are one of half dozen coworking spaces in the Bay area. In case you are wondering, yes, we do have space for new coworkers here.

Thanks to Daily Candy for the mention today and welcome dear readers. Have a look around and if you see what you like, drop us an email or give a call and we'll set you up for a free day to experience the Hat Factory co-working magic.

Join us as the "co-hopping" bus stops at the Hat Factory on Thursday, December 13th between 6:30 & 10pm.
