That mid-day pick-me-up is now quite convenient. The latest arrival, along with this scorching August heat, is this vending machine, soon be to equipped with our favorite go-to treats selected from theHIVE. Thought we’d give the water cooler a super cool neighbor.
We are really excited to have Brian Jouan (akaStatic Joe) coworking with us at theHIVE. He’s doing big things and tells us to keep an eye out for more to come. He’s a master when it comes to motion graphics and design and since moving to theHive he has produced work for Closing.com (which aired nationally), TBS’s “Tyler Perry’s House of Payne,” and San Diego’s Fashion Careers College. Check out his reel below and look out for this guy.
Time to get artsy. The Beyond the Border Contemporary Art Fair chose theONE as their exclusive concierge for their big event September 2-4. Artists from around the world will feature exhibits at the Grand Del Mar Resort. theONE is going to make sure the art pieces arrive safely in San Diego as well as arrange installations worldwide. If you think you might want a private viewing of a particular piece, or maybe take a spin in a Maserati, they can make that happen too.
