Big news in Los Angeles: we've got the LA office stuff going on. What's going on?

TL;DRThe new LA office in Santa Monica is about to open, with servers and fiber being set up, giving formerly remote LA staff a permanent office and video content to come.

Yeah, well, I'm actually flying back to LA and we're setting up the servers and the final stuff, the fiber's getting turned on. And Monday morning, we should be up and running in our new LA digs, which are going to be great. So we'll be having some video show and content that will come from there, which will be great once we've got everyone in and sort of up and running. Everyone in LA up to now has sort of been working from home and then occasionally coming down here to Austin or getting together ad hoc in LA. We haven't had a sort of big permanent office, and now we have one, so we can sort of gather everyone together, and we'll just feel more like a proper company. It's going to be good, so expect to see some content and updates coming from there, and we'll have some footage to show you the new LA offices. We got a great deal, and we're actually right next to OUYA's office. So if you remember the Kickstarter console, they're next door to us. We're down in Santa Monica. It's quite nice. And the landlord did a great deal for us. So we actually got something that looks like he actually redid it for us. He's the landlord of the OUYA people. His construction manager is the brother-in-law of Julie Uhrman, so he's kind of in the crowdfunding, so he kind of thought it was cool to get us, and so did more than he needed to do for the place, which is cool. So it's going to look really nice when you see it, but we actually financially didn't spend very much money on it, which is also good, because it needs to go in the game, not in fancy digs.
