Hivers, the buzz is about to go up a notch in the East Village. It’s a four day weekend of music by Sezio. In March of last year, Sezio hosted “Live@Luce Loft” in San Diego’s East Village. This marked a buzz for San Diego’s current Music scene. It was a five-night series which paired ten emerging local acts in an intimate living room setting. This year, prepare your ears fellow hivers! They are taking it up a notch. Sezio is thrilled to announce that the “Four day weekend” will be double the size of the living room and showcasing some of our favorite California-based bands, headlined by The Dodos, Avi Buffalo, Dominant Legs, and The Tree Ring. The four-night series will go down Thursday, November 4th through Sunday, November 7th at Sushi Art (also in SD’s East Village). Be sure to swarm over there if you can.

Why co-working? Well I’m glad you asked. Here are a few simple reasons why co-working simply…works.
| Home/Coffee Shop |
Co-working Space |
| Distractions galore, no work/personal time divide |
A space of one’s own…complete with a healthy buzz of productivity |
| 99 problems…have fun solving them – by yourself! |
99 problems…but your co-workers have probably been there – and we bet they’ll be glad to help |
| Indepedence! Also known as isolation…who can you bounce ideas off? |
A constant pool of self-starters like yourself offering a diverse range of expertise, insight, and creative energy |

Calling all Hivers. Check this dude. His name is Seth Priebatsch. He’s an artist of sorts, just like all y’all Hivers and his creation is called, Scvngr. He may be taking over the world, and it seems as though this conquest began from an early onset. His idea – to turn the world into a fun game. On September 18th, the New York Times, published an article announcing Seth Priebatsch’s vision to establish another layer within the social media realm, that pushes its members to challenge themselves in new and different ways. It’s called Scvngr, and it’s a bit like foursquare. By utilizing the technology of geo-location, your location will be announced to others as a means to challenge and engage with others. The point is you want to be the coolest. The point is you want to be doing the coolest things. The point is, you want to win. This idea chronicles the direction society is headed within the technology world. The possibilities of where it could lead are astronomical – there’s the chance it could wipe out all the people not part of the social media world, and then there’s the chance it could simply wipe out the economical value system all together, and the world could be based off the value of the individual’s direct contribution in the world, society, and with him/her own self. Yes, I may be getting a bit carried away here, but can’t a girl dream? What do you think?
