Random Thoughts

Did another mini-project for Bruce. Another round of Grand Cayman stuff. Photoshopping parrots onto the wayfinding monitors that Bo designed. Another good 6 hours of stuff sent out. :)
.
Pulling together ideas for Falmouth - water activities and environment enhancement stuff. Still slow in the office. :P
.
So the two meccas of themed design are LA and Orlando. I want to move out to LA eventually + tackle that job market. Maybe I'll retire in Orlando (LOL). :) Erica mentioned one company out there that she worked for, Thinkwell Group. From what she says its huge + they use a lot of freelancers. I wonder if that's what I'll have to do... freelance. I dread the idea. :( Disney is always out in LA - Burbank. Gotta find the other companies. Bruce apparently went to UCLA for Architecture. Maybe I should see where their design alum go to work.
I wonder where Universal Creative is...?
.
Erica suggested that I also peruse the TEA directory super thoroughly. She said a lot of themed environment design companies don't show at IAPPA.
.
Speaking of IAPPA, I'm not going this year. Yeah... it falls in my no-flying period. :( However, I found an alternative plan! I'm going to go to the TEA SATE conference in Orlando in September instead. This way I can meet all the important TEA people - designers and creatives. + Also, I can decide which conference would be better to job hunt at come next year.
.
I should figure out what I can use for my portfolio in this internship and update my resume.
