IndyHall is PROUD of two of the products to come out of organic team collaboration in the last several weeks.
This 4th of July weekend, we celebrate iSepta: created by Randy Schmidt, Chris Conley, and Jason Tremblay, as well as Ripit: created by Jason Allum, Johnny Bilotta, Dave Martorana, and Dave Speers.
In the spirit of celebrating our successes, IndyHall is inviting everyone to join us for frosty cold beverages at our favorite watering hole, National Mechanics. And we can’t remember a bad time at National Mechanics!
We’re gathering at 7pm on Thursday, July 3rd (right before your holiday weekend begins!) so there’s no excuse for missing it, unless you’re going out of town. And if you’re going out of town, you might want to reconsider!
RSVP is requested so we can get a head count. Your choice, Upcoming or Facebook.
We hope this is the first of many celebrations of team success!
The only thing better than a night at National Mechanics is a FREE night at National Mechanics!
We’re hoping to make these launch parties a regular event, and so with this first one we want to open up the opportunity for you to sponsor the event.
We’re designating 3 levels of sponsorship to make this event happen:
- Fan : $25 sponsorship
- Super-fan : $100 sponsorship
- Sugar-daddy : $500 sponsorship
We REALLY want to support more innovation like this, and we’d love for you to show your love for these teams hard work. All sponsorship dollars will go directly towards an open tab and passed appetizers.
As a sponsor your name and link will be added to a thank-you page on our site, as well as announced during the party.
All payments can be made with paypal, or you can drop off a check at IndyHall any time before the party. We thank you in advance for your support and generosity!
Thanks to our sponsors!

This Saturday will be a celebration of a new movement, and as you all know, we’re big supporters of movement in Philadelphia.
As part of an initiative to re-inspire the skate movement after skating in Love Park was banned six years ago, the Paines Park Project is working to rally support for an important part of the urban culture that has since dissipated to other cities. Paine’s Park is planned to be not just a skate park, but a skate environment. An environment that can, much like IndyHall has become for us, become an icon for a community.
We’re huge supporters of projects that help retain talent across industries and cultures. This opportunity is no exception.
So join us, along with artists, performers, and a number of other iconic brands from the Philadelphia area including Space 1026, Nocturnal Skate Shop, Urban Outfitters, Tastykake, and Johnny’s favorite: Pabst. Along with food and beer, there will be live performances from musicians and skate professionals at the Urban Outfitters Navy Yard HQ.
This is a 21+ event (we’re checking IDs to purchase, and they’ll be checking at the gate as well) to support Franklin’s Paine Skatepark Fund in its mission to build the 2.5 acre skatepark in Center City Philadelphia. Transportation options will be available, details are on the website.
You can buy tickets at a number of locations around the city. They’re $22 online, or $20 if you come to IndyHall and pick them up. They are also available at Red Tettemer, Urban Outfitters in University City and Center City, and Nocturnal Skate Shop.
See everyone Saturday, Skate on!

Our very first Amazon delivery from the Independents Hall Library Wish List arrived Friday afternoon! Many thanks to Dave Rappo and Adam Saslow for lending their support by purchasing the following books and magazine subscriptions:
Purple Cow: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable
The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations
Entrepreneur
Wired
In addition to our wish list on Amazon, many friends of Indy Hall have been donating books from their personal collections. Each day there are great new titles here such as Don’t Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability (2 copies!), Bulletproof Web Design, Web ReDesign 2.0: Workflow that Works and Experience Design 1.
Our contributions aren’t just limited to books, as demonstrated by our good friend Joshua Lane who also donated a HUGE box of Transformers!
Stay tuned for a digital representation of all the books we have at the space, and feel free to drop by sometime to flip through a book for inspiration or to learn something new. That’s what we’re here for.

Since Indy Hall opened, there has been a flurry of activity in the space. Besides being a great place to work and be inspired, we were thinking it would be awesome to build a library with some great reference materials on design, business, startups, programming, etc.
Independents Hall now has a library wish list on Amazon!

Please view the list and comment on this post if you have any suggested additions or have any books / etc that you would like to donate yourself. Perhaps there are some of you out there who aren’t ready to climb aboard with a full membership and are looking for other ways to contribute to the community. If so, here’s your opportunity!
I’m personally kicking it off with a subscription to Fast Company, one of my favorite magazines.
Stay tuned for more ways to contribute and benefit from this great community that we are building together!
