You might have noticed that the photo we use in the header of the website is suspiciously foreign. That's because it's not of Ignition Alley. We had built the site before we had built the facility, so there were no pictures to take. But like any complex project, replacing the photo has gotten pushed back and other things were worked on. So, we committed one of the worst acts one can do to a fellow photog (Tim and Mike are both avid photographers): we didn't attribute the picture! And since we're on the cusp of taking the magic shot that will replace the current one, we figured it made more sense to post about it on the blog than put up a note for 1 week to try and make up for the last month or so of using it improperly. So, here we go:

Citizen Space by hyku

It's an excellent shot of Citizen Space out in San Francisco, a fellow coworking space. If you happen to be in the SF area, stop by and check them out. And even better, if you're a member of Ignition Alley, you can stop in under the Coworking Visa for free (and at any of the other spaces in the Bay Area).

We've updated the pricing page and everything is now ready to go. We want you to become a member today! If you're ready to take the plunge, pick out a plan and email us at info@ignitionalley.com. We'll send over a contract to sign and you'll be ready to become a member. Remember that this isn't a long-term, binding contract, so if you're on the fence about joining just give it a try. If it doesn't work out, you can always back out at any time and there won't be any hard feelings (but we will miss you!). Let's get this party started!

We are now linking to our rules on all pages. Feel free to look them over and check if you have any issues with them. They'll be accompanying your membership agreements when you fill them out. These documents are what we've feel sets up a reasonable environment for everyone that is both secure and liberal enough to do whatever you need to do to get your work done.

Just so no one gets a car towed, you should know where and where not to park. The one place to definitely not park is at Dougan's across the street. The owner is very attentive to their parking lot and will tow you on a moment's notice if you park there. We've tried talking with him about renting some access to the space, but he has refused to even talk with us. We'll keep trying, but for now he's got an itchy trigger finger and you shouldn't park in there at all.

We're going to be opening up officially on Monday, so things are bustling! There are some things to know so you can know what to expect. First, we'll be opening up the doors at 10am. Tim Dorr will be available to take your info and answer any questions. Feel free to stop by at your convenience.

Also, we're still working out the membership agreement. We want to make sure it's going to encourage the best community to develop and that it provides everyone the basic protections they need. So, we might not have it ready for Monday. It will definitely be ready next week at some point and likely earlier in the week. Once it's ready (or if we hash it out in the next 48 hours), we'll put you into our system and email you the agreement to sign electronically.
