probletunity

So, last weekend I was out in Desert Hot Springs, hot tubbing and such, when my neighbor Paolo from the film center called and said there was some flooding at Machine. It turns out that our (perhaps negligent) landlord let another hot water heater fail in the apartment above us (yes, this has happened before), which flooded our office and destroyed a bunch of stuff.

At first I thought this was really terrible, but I shortly realized that this was a great opportunity to fix a major problem, which is the gallery is really to small to hold all the people who come to events, and the back office is much larger than it needs to be. And since the office is trashed anyway, what better time to move the partion wall back 10 feet to make the gallery a whole bunch bigger. Yay!

In another lucky coincidence, my friend Mark Dagget just made a new website for fund raising campaigns called Pledgie, so I went ahead and made a campaign to fund our repair and renovation project. Read more about my plan to renovate and repair Machine and see some photos of the carnage.

Should this all seem terribly uninteresting I can also offer you this insane video sent in by Ryan of a rabbit repeatedly attacking a snake.
