Working in the building where they filmed 24

Postby Kaligraphic » Tue Sep 20, 2005 10:35 pm

Yes, for this week only, your dear friend Kaligraphic is working in the building where they filmed the series 24. It even has the funky glass meeting room and everything. A new company is moving in, and I'm being paid as a consultant for the week to basically help the IT manager get things going. It's fun, especially when we have to field complaints about the network going down while at the same time trying to figure out why network goes down. (Starting operations in a location at the same time as starting network installation = headaches for the IT guys)

Basically, I'm doing a lot of the firefighting/system installation/smaller projects this week to help give the IT manager a little time to do the IT managing. Still, I thought you all might get a kick out of the location.

I presume you're talking about the main building focused on in the series - CTU? Awesome! 24 rocks!

I used to live in the California High Desert where the B movie "Them" was filmed... It was fun seeing what that place looked like so long ago... Oh, and I'm living now where part of Erol Flynn's Robin Hood was shot... Part of it was shot here, part of it at Bidwell park. This is where Erol Flynn and his crew lived while they were shooting. They had the fourth floor of the hotel built specifically for them.

We also have one of the top 20 perhaps oldest working elevators in existance, but that's another story...

I only saw one episode of the show, but I guess it would be the CTU building - it has a yellow room that kind of looks like a little building inside the building, and a meeting room up high with glass walls, one of which is at a funky angle.

So you have to figure out which employee is working against you and trying foil all your plans (and possibly is also trying to keep the network down)?

Do the phones have the distintive CTU ring tone?
Everywhere like such as, and MOES.

Ooooh! Well, while you're in the building you simply MUST do this:

Look someone STRAIGHT in the eye and say really serious and somber "I'm special agent [your name], and today is the longest day of my life." Then just walk away.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.
