the view is some crazy wacky shit

Today is" Day One" at the TONY'S offices located in a hotel called FLATOTEL, on 52nd street between 6th and Broadway, close to Radio City. Looking out 45 stories up. I have to say, this is the best editing situation ever, we put the AVID by the windows- but it's all view really, and the AVID looks like a flying machine now more than ever.
There is also a balcony. EVERYONE who has been in here today, has pleaded with me not to swan dive off of it--when the shit hits the fan, yelling "SO LONG SUCKERS!" and flipping off people as a last look.
No death wish here, I told them, I'd rather BBQ tofu dogs on the balcony- let's see if I can pull that one off.

But seriously folks, working with White Cherry has been all about the view so far, I have had windows- lots of them, that shit is important- especially if you live in NYC and haven't had the privilege of a room with a view...that reminds me:

My friend Sally, an artist, from Madrid, has this video about people who worked at WTC who shared stories about the view out of their office windows. She had problems getting it screened in NYC because she had interviews with two guys who died on 9/11 from WINDOWS ON THE WORLD- they were kitchen staff, with a great view, they were happy and proud of their view in the video, and were the only ones who really appreciated her asking them about it.
