Hello Rainier Tower!

We moved in on Monday. I worked from home that day, to let the kinks get worked out.

I arrived Tuesday am at the new office. I didn't have a badge yet, but found the door open, and crew of workers finishing up the offices for John, Brad and Laura.

I felt a little like a fish out of water the first day, but today, day three, it is starting to feel more familiar. I suppose, if I make it here a decade, that this place will feel as comfortable as the old basement office.

Farewell to 3b13

Friday, January 30th, was our last day in the basement of Bell Plaza.

I have been working in the basement for nearly 10 years, and have many great memories from there. The work place is not very nice, but it was ours, we decorated any way we wanted, we played music, we had nerf gun wars, it was truly a unique work environment.

People watching on the corner of 7th and Pine in the courtyard. Watch for winos and crackheads, cause building security sure isn't!

Tommys hat still hangs above his old cube.

The names change, the story stays the same.

Ricks wall of business cards!


The old studio.





Conference room in Orange, thanks to Allie! Its been said you can get your daily vitamin C by spending an hour in there.


In my opinion, our coolest project ever, with an Olympic torch to prove it!

Shit flows down hill, good thing we shared a space with the pumps.

Welcome to Peak, may I help you?

Creepy long hallway, The Shining anyone?

Where is Ted?

Breakroom, one feature lacking in new space I am told

I wonder what that goo was that oozed out from the ceiling for decades?? surely its not hazardous, I mean, we are all fine, right?
