The Watch This crew of Alex and Allison came last Wednesday and brought 15 of their closest friends. The movie: It Happened One Night. Now, I did not know this, but it is one of only three movies, and the first, to sweep the big 5 Academy awards (Picture, Actor, Actress, Director, Screenplay). Do you know the other two?
Rather than recap it here, I will defer to the excellent write-up of the evening and the movie over at the Watch This blog.
Join us for movie night #2 on Friday, October 29th at Cincy Coworks.
Here are a couple pictures from the blog.

Cincy Coworks is proud to announce a partnership with Cincinnati-based B2Bee. What is B2Bee?
The Bee is invoicing, expense tracking and profit reporting online for freelancers, contractors, solopreneurs and other small service providers. It’s self-contained, amazingly simple, secure, and inexpensive.
As a community of independents, a partnership between Cincy Coworks and The Bee is a match made in heaven! Independents need a place to work (that’s us) and they need good tools (that’s The Bee). Here is the lowdown.
- If you sign up for The Bee via Cincy Coworks, when it’s time to upgrade, you get two months free! Sign up for The Bee using the Cincy Coworks invite code (CINCY-COWORKS-28).
- If you join Cincy Coworks as a part-time or full-time member, you’ll get credits for six months of The Bee after upgrading! Instructions for this deal is reserved for members, so join us today.
We’re pretty excited about this partnership, and are interested in partnering with other freelance-targeted services. Accounting? Legal? Benefits? Contact us.

It’s a few weeks away, but there are some great events coming up for Cincy Coworks.
- First up is our official Open House/Launch Party on Friday, August 13 at 6pm. This coincides with the semi-regular Walk on Woodburn gallery walk, which coincides with exhibit openings at the Manifest Gallery down the street.
Come in, meet some members, see the space, hoist a cold beverage and maybe eat some finger foods. There may even be a box of wine. Then take in the rest of the Walk.
- We are proud to host vols. 35 & 16 (uh, counting down) of Watch This. Put another way: it’s movie night at Coworks! Bring yourself, and maybe a pillow.
- Wednesday, August 25 at 7pm finds us watching the 35th best film of all time according to the American Film Institute, It Happened One Night.
- Friday, October 29 at 7pm finds the AFI’s 16th best film, All About Eve.

Cincinnati Coworks had its first event last Thursday, and it was one for the geeks. Chris Wanstrath, CEO/co-founder of Github and Cincinnati native, spoke for about an hour on the git version control system and Github. As a bonus, he spoke for about 30 mins. on how Github.com got started and has grown to 10 employees and millions of dollars in revenue. He also talked about the future of Github and some opinions on entrepreneurship (#1 tip: “Use your brains”).
Event-wise, we stuffed 32 geeks into our space, brought in some beverages and ZZ’s pizza. Unfortunately, we only had about half as many chairs, but people made do with balance balls, windows seats and the floor. So the event was in fact standing room only!
Here are some pictures from the Meetup pool.
Posted under jelly, join, members, we're now open!!! on July 6th, 2010 by gerard – 3 Comments
Cincy Coworks is now open! Thanks to those of you who offered input, or dropped by our home-before-our-home at Venue 222 in OTR.
But we have a long way to go of course, and much in the works. Our first event is a meeting of the local PHP Users Group this Thursday, July 8th. I just hope we have enough chairs.
We currently have 6 full-time members. We still have room for additional full-time members. Some of you may have been interested in joining earlier, but had a hard time doing so before "seeing" it.
Speaking of "seeing" it, we’re currently figuring out our part-time membership structure (anything you’d like to see?) and drop-in rate. Also, expect some free days of Jelly coworking in the near future.
Watch the mailing list, the website, or Twitter, for the latest news (Facebook page, not so much)!
