UGBT Houston: There's No Place Like...

Feeling well-rested after some incredible spa treatments, I do believe Sarah and I are relaxed enough to see just beyond the UGBT horizon, and it appears that there is only ONE city left. Say whaaaat? True, Boulder is not until December (details to come later), but still, the end is in sight. It's perplexing: on one hand, it's about time Sarah settles down long enough to create her own personal butt groove on the couch. On the other hand, there is a certain sense of melancholy. In addition to spotlighting all the unique book events, the tour featured one key supporting player: the co-working space. When I first mentioned my hopes for Houston, I listed a good group of people, a great space, and, um, drinks to spare.

Not only did I get a very compelling and spot-on personality test by a budding lawyer/entrepreneur and a huge case of Shiner Bock, Caroline Collective was quite the space to behold. All 6,000 square feet of it, that is. Which makes Caroline Collective the largest co-working space in the world- the Emerald City of co-working spaces. Presided over by the Good Witch Erica O'Grady, the Wizard Wettergreen, and their own supporting cast of characters. If I only had a beer.
