New Headquarters?
December 23, 2009

I think most people know that I’m looking to move our offices back to LA. It's not because I’m on the road for about 2 hours of my 18 hour day of work, it's mostly because our roots are from here. After being in biz for 17 years, you learn that moving sucks! So next time we move, I want to make sure it’s our last (we’ll see). The other thing is that I want a place that has “character.” I’m not into a traditional biz park with new everything. I’m more into taking something that’s been ignored and then turning it into a place we can call home. The problem is that it takes a hell of a lot of work to do so, I’ll give you one example of a place I’ve been eyeing. This joint is an abandoned hospital.

From the outside, it doesn’t look too bad. What is that large pole vent sticking out?

Oh, that’s the vent from the incinerator from the basement. You know the place where they used to burn the dead bodies…

Inside, well, it’s a little worse than the outside. That’s my broker, Warren, with the head lamp! Shhhh, I think I heard something?

Oh snap, it was just a few pigeons. I guess this is the remains of what they do over the years.

It kinda gave me the chills when I saw that the beds were left in the rooms. If the walls could talk… Oooook, I think we’ll keep looking elsewhere.
