friday bar

It has come to my attention

Happy New Year, my friend. It has come to my attention that it's been half a year since I last wrote to you. I can't do much about that other than give you the shortest possible version of what has happened since.

Cowork Klitmøller had a good year in 2017. At least, that's my impression. I get things done and, at the same time, am having a lot of fun. From what I can see, this applies to the rest of the residents and beta-residents.

Lunch is a core social activity, and the coffee situation is finally more or less under control. The Friday bars have been a pleasure, and the Christmas party on December 9 showed that the new building is suited for this occasion also. The dates for the Friday bars in 2018 are as follows (doors open 3 PM):

January 19th
February 23th
March 23th
April 20th
May 18th
June 15th
July 27th
August 24th
September 28th
October 12th
November 23th
December 8th (the big Christmas Party, doors open 8 PM) 

Anders is now a resident. Anders is a surfer and has moved to Klitmøller with his wife, Sophie, and two kids, Thomas (1 year) and Theodor (4 years). He is a creative director for Enterprise Rent-A-Car.

Likewise, Karl Johan recently became a resident. Karl Johan grew up in Thy and so moved (back) from Copenhagen, together with his wife, Malene, and likewise two kids, Viggo (2 years) and Anker (6 months). Karl Johan is completing a Ph.D. at the University of Copenhagen.

Finally, we've been blessed with about 160 beta-resident rentals in 2017 (since launch in April).

On January 1, 2018, Mads became a resident. Mads has just moved to Klitmøller. He's a former professional mountain biker. He's the founder and operator of the MTBakadamiet. Mads is about to write a book about mountain bike.

On April 1, Sofie will also become a resident. She's a surfer, and for several years, she has been a frequent visitor in the area. I've known Sofie for some years and enjoyed working with her during the Cold Hawaii PWA World Cup. Her first project as a resident is to write a book about the development of the Danish surf culture. 

To be honest, I feel super privileged and, quite frankly, proud that what we've set out to make has turned into a such a beautiful place and, best of all, a bunch of beautiful people that I'm looking forward to spending time with each day. I hope to see you (again and again) in 2018.

There you have it: the short version.

We're approaching operation mode

We have now been up and running at the new Cowork Klitmøller since April 3. It's an exquisite feeling. The rooms are tuned in, and the place is working well. We're approaching operation mode.

You should try it to see if it turns on your sense of belonging also. We have eight chairs for beta residents, which have already been used quite often. It's easy to book a chair, and the price is fair.


Pricing: 
4 hours: 6€ + Danish VAT
9 hours: 10€ + Danish VAT
One week: 60€ + Danish VAT

OPENING HOURS: 8:00 - 21:00, 7 DAYS A WEEK.


We have a good video conference system and are considering purchasing a green screen so you can have anything in the background. That way no one can tell that you aren't at your usual location.

We have ... maybe not amazing coffee but we're working on it -and shared lunch approx. at noon. Bring some food, and remember: we share what's there.

I think the best word to describe the place is: homely - or at least that's how we feel, and what many say when they visit the place for the first time.

We are 11 residents in the house: a graphic designer and a clothing designer, another graphic designer, a photographer, another photographer, a moviemaker, a chief project manager from Cowi, a musician, a creative director at a local clothing company, a manager at a home for kids with special needs and – well – me.

We have held the first two Friday bars. As it turned out, and lucky for us, the place is also suitable for that. The next Friday bar is 21st of July. Come by! Surfjoint (the biggest surf party of the year) is on Saturday 22nd; that's a perfect two in one.

By the way, The opening on April 1 went amazingly. If you were not there yourself, you can share the memories through the pictures from the opening day

We wish you a good summer and look forward to seeing you at Cowork Klitmøller.
