Since the inception of the term in 2005, coworking has increasingly become the ideal choice for entrepreneurs, freelancers, and others for whom neither the home/coffee shop nor the traditional office space works. Here are five signs that you may want to join the party:
1. You often forget to shower during the workweek.
If at least to have an excuse to shower, it really is nice to just get out of the house once in a while lest it drive you crazy.
2. You hate networking events, but you need a network.
A more organic way to connect with others professionally, coworking naturally introduces you to a network of professionals that you can develop meaningful relationships by working alongside.
3. You are not an expert in everything.
…but chances are, within an office of people, you are likely to find a host of experts on various topics.
4. You have gotten in a fight over a cafe electrical outlet.
As a long-term, regular work place, cafes can offer many problems, ranging from distractions to fighting for space to the inconvenience of a nomadic work setup. Coworking offers a stable environment conducive to productivity.
5. You meet with clients in the kitchen.
Meeting at a coworking space’s conference room communicates your professionalism to your client.

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 |
Experts agree…
