Manicures, Puppies and Pickle Rick: Our Week on Instagram

It's a good week when things end with free manicures from our friends at member company LISA. What else was up this week? We visited the City Club of Chicago, played with some dogs and had an awesome breakfast with our WiSTEM members -- all documented on our Insta. Not following? You should.

@make_school--you left us a thank you message, but for real, thank you for spending your summer with us. Awesome to see your students successfully turn around functioning apps. Also--how'd you know we dig @rickandmorty?

#DailyGreg . "@doubeaqib is the founder of @MWImmersive, one of the #VR startups at 1871, and the type of guy who wants to innovate and disrupt. He loves #VR and educating those about it. He started @mwimmersive as a monthly meetup for those interested in augmented reality and it’s grown so much that I’m waiting for the day there are too many people and they have to move it to the 1871 Auditorium." - @m0t1ey

5 cohorts in, #WiSTEM's networking breakfast feels like a family reunion--and that's the point. Past cohort participants, current members, board. These morning's are about making new connections and reinforcing old. We wouldn't have it any other way.

#DailyGreg . "Any day when a photo shoot has dogs, I'm hooked! Got to shoot some behind the scenes photos for an upcoming #1871OffCampus video about @petgotchaday and how they use VR to help pets find forever homes. This is Florence and not only did she love being on camera but she LOVED tennis balls. Stay tuned." - @m0t1ey

@chicagosmayor laid it out this evening during #DigiCity's roundtable on #Chicago's efforts on becoming a smart city--any advancement needs to be inclusive and solve real problems. We agree.

#DailyGreg . "This was one of those off to the side moments when the event is about to start but there's that moment of quiet before it's business time. " . "John Kasich and Mark Kirk visited 1871 for a quick sit down with @thebunkerlabs and I got this shot of Howard and Governor Kasich chatting just before the program." - @m0t1ey

This afternoon was the textbook definition of #theroomwhereithappens.

#DailyGreg . "Let me tell you about Claudia Saric--she's the best." . "That's it. But seriously, she is Howard's assistant and she can always be found with a smile on her face and she's been known to have a solid sense of humor." . "As you can tell. Claudia is no stranger to being in front of the camera." - @m0t1ey

@thelisaapp came through and hooked us up! A ManiPedi (and massage!) on a Friday? True relaxation hours indeed.
