Mike and Nate over at Amendment 21 have been more than good to us as we’ve collaborated on events in the past such as the themed bar crawls, geek nights and Lunch 2.0. We are now doing a benefit show on August 1st featuring Black Rock City All Stars and Bohemian Burlesque.

The all-ages event will kick-off outside Amendment 21 at 7pm with Black Rock City All Stars, hula hoopers, Bohemian Burlesque, booths from local community organizations, and more. At 10pm, we’ll bring the party inside for a 21+ performance by Bohemian Burlesque.

Get in the door with a $5 donation that will help us develop and continue hosting wonderful resources and events for the Reno community. Drink specials include $5 PBJ’s.

Come join us for some fun and learn more about Reno Collective and how you can help make Reno a better place to live, work, and, of course, play!

Downtown Reno – A Place to Live, Work and Play

Colin Loretz — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 22:30:29 +0000

A great video created by the City of Reno. This is exactly why we have been working so hard to bring coworking to Downtown Reno through the Reno Collective.

“The lastest renaissance in downtown Reno began in the late 90s when City leaders focused on revitalizing the Truckee River corridor. The vision was to create a downtown where residents would live, work and play. This video highlights residents who are living the new downtown experience everyday through their investment in a condominium, business or leisure activity. The redevelopment agency completed a number of projects, including retrac, century riverside theater, palladio, special events center, ballroom, city plaza, whitewater park , west street market and other attractions.”

Reno Collective has a home!

Colin Loretz — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 19:44:00 +0000

We are very excited to announce that coworking in Reno officially has a home. Reno Collective will be moving into the Cathexes building downtown on 250 Bell Street.

The building is shared by the Cathexes Architect group and a bevy of green, renewable start up companies and organizations including the Renewable Energy Accelerator 250, Bombard Renewable Power, and the Sierra Club. There is such a strong synergy between these groups and we believe our presence will only further that synergy and create new opportunities for the community.

We are putting together a new website to allow for anyone interested in becoming a member of Reno Collective to sign up and learn more about the space and what opportunities it will offer so keep checking back!

Congrats to Independents Hall on their one year anniversary

Colin Loretz — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 18:23:43 +0000

When we decided to bring coworking to Reno, we started watching a lot of the coworking spaces across the country in order to adapt the model to our area. One of those individuals included Alex Hillman of Independents Hall. Alex and his crew are celebrating Indy Hall’s one year anniversary, which also happens to have just reached maximum capacity. They are all filled up! Congratulations on everything you guys have achieved.

Alex posted the following video that shows how Indy Hall has evolved from day one:

Building an online community

Colin Loretz — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 05:51:14 +0000

While we are looking for a building to house Reno Collective, we have setup a “social network” to build our community online before taking it to the streets.

If you are interested in being a part of the Reno Collective family, check it out at www.renocollective.ning.com. Create a profile and get involved!

This little experiment is powered by Ning. I’m not a fan of the Google ads they plaster on everything but hey, it keeps it free. We’ll eventually move to something different for our online community interaction, either a custom application built in ruby on rails or a community wiki.
