Last week we moved into new offices...
...upstairs from Techstars (@techstars) [who can nourish our minds]...
...and Sidney's Coffee Shop (@sidneyscoffee) [who can caffeinate our brains].
Once again, after nearly two years, we're all on the same floor, in the same space. Don't ever underestimate the value of that!
We made the move over the first weekend of May. In the weeks before, the space was being prepped -- walls torn down, paint thrown up, carpet thrown across -- transforming it from the forlorn abandoned space we could work with into a sharp, clean, bustling space we could work in.
Meetup tonight
Tonight we'll be hosting our first Drupal User Group Meetup in our new offices. All are welcome!
It starts at 6.
Free pizza and (soft) drinks!
For those traveling by bus, we're now catty corner from the main downtown Boulder bus terminal.
We're in the big tall ugly building with the pastel panels on the side that decades ago some architect thought would look cool. pingVision is located on the Mezzanine level.
Follow the Druplicon!
Farewell to the Pine Street home
Just over 29 months ago, we moved into the building at 14th and Pine. All we had was Suite 1. After bootstrapping the company from a livingroom office, we finally had our own space: 4 rooms plus a full bathroom.
The building was slated for demolition in six months or so, to make way for a new development, so we got a great deal on the space -- perfect for a start-up!
As we grew, we took over more of the building, one suite at a time, until we had five separate suites -- each with multiple rooms, each with separate utility bills, each with a full bathroom (including bathtub and shower). It was nice to have the room, but it was hard to have everyone scattered across three floors, in separate small rooms.
A lot has happened in these walls.
...Meetups, a DrupalCamp, oodles of client meetings, getting snowed in, internal moves, hirings, architecting, running cables, mounting whiteboards, designing, coding, theming, and lots and lots of laughter.
We take away many fond memories.
So now we move on to the next phase, with brighter horizons and better views of the Flatirons, remembering that place that was our home for over two years.
