We will provide a quiet, warm, relaxing pla<span>ce to chill and work as well as offer massage therapy, tea, and hot tubs. <br>
<br>
I'm imagining the space to have no or just a few desks. People would
mainly work sitting on couches or comfy pillows and bean bags. Or maybe work
in the hot tub via rented water resistant laptops. <br> <br> I've had
this idea in my head for a little over a year. I've mentioned it to a
couple of people who love it, but the timing was never right to make it
actually happen. Well, as some of you know there is a space in the
Temescal Neighborhood of Oakland that is being looked at as becoming a
community center owned by a collective of collectives called The Omni, <a href="http://prezi.com/fbhw5lnpkyo1/the-omni/" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">http://prezi.com/fbhw5lnpkyo1/the-omni/</a> <br> <br>
The top floor of this building has an area with 3 - 4 "bedrooms" and a
laundry room with a shower and a hot tub. I think that this area would
be a great place to make the Hacker Spa happen.<br> <br> The
organization would be co owned by everyone working there, so for example
if you wanted to set up a massage table you would pay dues to help pay
rent and expenses and keep any other money you make as well as get paid
dividends if we make a profit. Same with anyone who helps with
promotion, administration, etc. The major goal would be to pay a rent on
a portion of The Omni with this project.</span><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br><br>-- <br>-------<div>Andrew Lowe</div><div><br></div>
