Casual Coworking: Jelly in Tampa Bay
Jelly has come to Tampa Bay!
My little press release is below, with all the details and sign-up links. If you’re located in the Tampa Bay area and work at home (or have a boss who doesn’t mind an unconventional workday once or twice a month), check it out and sign up if you’re at all interested. If you’re not in the Tampa Bay area but are interested, check out the workatjelly.com site and see if there’s a Jelly forming near you.
Details:
Do you work at home? Wish you could have some social interaction while you work, without going back to daily commutes and bad lighting?
Come to a Tampa Bay Jelly! Jelly is an every-so-often casual coworking session. Anyone is welcome to come, bring a laptop, and work alongside other creative, fun people. The concept originated with a group of New York City freelancers and is spreading internationally. We provide the chairs and the WiFi, you bring your laptop/work materials and your sociability.
Everyone is welcome — web developers and software engineers, graphic artists and illustrators, musicians and writers, anyone. Freelancers and telecommuters are the target audience, but if you have a cool boss and you want to come just for the energy and fun, feel free!
