Tomorrow, Tuesday 7/8, our faithful cream cheese leaders Jason Tremblay and Lauren Galanter have organized a casual coworking session at Milkboy Cafe. This is a new venue for us, so we’re hoping to get some folks from out in the ‘burbs to join.
If you’re coming from the city, Milkboy is just a block away from the Ardmore station on Septa’s R5 Regional Rail line Check Schedule on iSepta.
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!
Leading up to Ignite, there will be a special Cream Cheese session (our own version of the Jelly coworking event) at Euphoria Cafe, 3 blocks from Johnny Brenda’s, led by Jason Tremblay and Lauren Galanter. Swing by to casually cowork and co-inspire anytime after 8:30am. We’ll all head over to Ignite afterwards to continue the day’s awesomeness.
I’m really, really glad that Jason and Lauren have taken control of this event and are working hard to get it back into some sort of regular schedule. Coworking should work for lots of different types of workers, and we know that IndyHall isn’t the perfect fit for everyone. Cream Cheese sessions open up the doors to coworking for a whole new audience. Enjoy!
