Poll: MEAT Space, A nick name for the new cook street space

I like it !

Point taken, I know when I am defeated. Shoebox it is.

I do like the sound of bikeshed! Lol.

I agree with Janet - The Meat Space sounds like a sleezy pickup joint. I much prefer The Shoebox although I agree that is sounds like a small, cramped space. My preference would be something like Cook House.

The Cook.

Cook House.

I like Butcher’s Block, because of Cook street, and “butcher’s block” always makes me think of a butcher’s block table, something that has to be built.

Not sure I want Shoebox, and Pepto Palace would definitely send the wrong message!

I’ll have to see if I can come up with something fun.

Cook House is good, or I suppose we could even say Cook Street house.

how bout just “the space”…
since there is only one…

  • Pressure Cooker
  • Meat Box
  • Cookie Jar
  • Too many cooks spoil the broth
  • The Toolbox
  • Schrodinger’s Box, The Shrodinga
  • Pandora’s Box
  • The Black Box
  • The Bitty Box
  • The 1st Cook, Cooks’s 1st
  • The HackerBox
  • IT IS Cook St (1715 Cook St)

Any More… hmm

This new space makes me think of Alice in Wonderland. Maybe some play on that. Hall of Mirrors, The Looking Glass, Long Hall.

The previous tenants are a shoe company, but that information is going to
lose relevance as time goes on.

The previous previous tenants was a dance studio*, and those mirrors will
be a defining feature throughout our tenancy.

*Actually a pole-dance studio, but it’s probably not a great idea to
reference that.

Very nice people and instructors

You can see many pictures on their website of VHS’s new space.

I could ask them back to do a workshop if people are interested.
It looks like it would be a great workout and i have always wanted to learn (not even joking)

The “CookLab” ??

Actually… Shoe.me… I think there’s a pun in there…

The Mess hall! :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve also had people call VHS: the shop, or the lab. I’m actually kind of growing fond of these.

Call it whatever you like. …can’t even agree on hackspace vs makerspace…

It’s already being called “Cook Street”

Considering we have had multiple locations, and we’re likely destined to have more, I think we should have names for them. Makes it easier to talk about them, makes it easier to personify the space, for better or worse.

I like shoebox, with its double meaning.

Can we add polls to this topic? Hrm

Here’s a doodle poll. I’ve done my best to include all options that got attention.

I tried after the fact, you need to create the poll on creation of a topic.

Shoebox has already won, I accept defeat.
The new space is the “Shoebox”, long live the box of feet
