After seven years sharing space, today was our last official workday in the Coudal Partners office. We’ve had an amazing time working with them, each of us huddled around computers, bringing ideas to life.
We watched them drink a really old can of Diet Barqs Root Beer.
We watched them put a keyboard in the dishwasher.
Together we did three SEED Conferences, one at Crown Hall.
And everyday, we have watched the office fill up with more and more and more versions of Field Notes than anyone ever expected.
We’ve been inspired by Jim, Michele, Steve, Dawson, Bryan, Susan, Kevin, Dave and all their many interns everyday. We’re going to miss them all.
Our friends at TipsyCake helped us thank everyone at Coudal for their support in style.

on 15 Jul 10We’ve been begging mom and dad for our own rooms for years, and now that we’re moving out we realize how much we’ll miss you guys. An After School Special and also 37signals + Coudal.
Thanks for everything.

on 15 Jul 10As huge fans of Coudal and 37 I’m sad to see you go, but having your own space will be amazing.
Keyboard in the dishwasher was classic; great cupcake!
Bryan
on 15 Jul 10On a related note, look for the new Coudal Partners Meerkat Habitat, opening October 2010!
Thanks for the parting gifts and the cupcakes, 37, we’ll miss you too. Well, we’ll miss Kieran. and cupcakes.
Michele
on 15 Jul 10Ignore Bryan, we do.
It has been a fun 7 years (!) having you guys share office space with us, it was just Jason and Matt at the beginning and now look at you guys! We will miss you guys and wish you the best in your new digs.
I’m marking Bryan with a “Goes” sticker in hopes the movers will take him to your office. Steve and Dawson get “Stays” stickers. As for Jim, we will see…...

on 16 Jul 10The last time I had a long-term roommate move out he made off with all my LP records. So, just to make it clear, The Yes and Emerson Lake and Palmer albums are mine guys.
Good luck in the new space, we’ll be over on Thursdays for lunch!

I don’t blame you for moving out; I heard those folks can’t read!

on 16 Jul 10They couldn’t make one 37s cupcake? Was hoping to see a Basecamp logomark in there somewhere.

Jim Coudal designed it.

on 19 Jul 10It was always comforting knowing that Jason was sitting at my old desk. Now the old girl will no doubt become some sort of Field Notes/Jewelboxing staging area. Sniff.
