Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted January 6, 2013 Premium Member Share Posted January 6, 2013 Well, it looks like I awoke this morning to one of my last snow-falls here in Philadelphia and I'll be loading up the F150 and driving out to LA around Jan 30th-- getting in first week of Feb. I just wanted to say hi to everyone. Any advice, or help, anyone can offer me will be greatly appreciated. Any displaced Philadelphians, I'll be bringing some Yuengling. And to everyone else, I'd love to spend some time, meet all of you from the community, and buy you a drink for all the support, help, and knowledge you've always so willingly shared with me and the forum at large. I am not sure how good the market will be for me in LA, or whether or not I'll be able to make it-- though we never know such things-- but I am excited to take on the challenge, and see another side of both the country and the industry. -Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Matthew W. Phillips Posted January 7, 2013 Premium Member Share Posted January 7, 2013 Congrats Adrian, We'll have a beer once you're settled in. May the odds ever be in your favor ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted January 7, 2013 Author Premium Member Share Posted January 7, 2013 Matt, you know you're towards the top of my list for drinks. Here's hoping I can a nice watering hole somewhere out there... a place with Lagers or Innis and Gunn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted January 7, 2013 Premium Member Share Posted January 7, 2013 I won't be back until mid March, so you'll have to tell me how the job market is faring this year in Los Angeles... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted January 7, 2013 Author Premium Member Share Posted January 7, 2013 I'll most certainly try my best to let me know. I suppose as long as you don't hear about me moving into a nice box somewhere outside of Universal, selling scraps of Arris, you can assume it's ok. Hopefully I'll get the chance, once you get back to LA to sit down with you over coffee or beers. It's the least one can do for all the help and encouragement you've always given to the younger generation, and sometimes I really appreciate David.

Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted January 7, 2013 Premium Member Share Posted January 7, 2013 I'll probably be in LA for a bit after NAB in April, so perhaps there'll be an opportunity to have one of those rather enjoyable four-yearly cinematography.com meetups.

Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted January 7, 2013 Author Premium Member Share Posted January 7, 2013 Thanks Freya. Your kind words and advice are always very appreciated by me. Now see if you can stow away with Phil and come out here so I can buy you many many drinks and enjoy your quirkiness in person! Don't make me come over there.....

Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted January 11, 2013 Author Premium Member Share Posted January 11, 2013 And that's where buying a round or two comes into play ;) Liquor them up first then have them sign a contract. In truth, though, I owe many people 'round here a drink. And-- being the responsible adult I am becoming-- I of course set aside some funds simply for the alcohol I know I'll need to consume in order to build a new network of good people.

I come down on a regular basis. I just have to swing by my buddies house and pick up my bullet proof vest and .44 Magnum. R, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward Lawrence Conley III Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Almost every neighborhood has a decent watering hole to offset the Hollywood/Sunset clubs :) My shop is a Stills Photo equipment rental place but if you need something or have a question about LA give me a shout 323-640-3183 www.screamingbroccoli.net ed@screamingbroccoli.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted January 22, 2013 Author Premium Member Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hey Ed that's awesome, thanks. I'd love to stop down sometime once I get settled. Looks like I might wind up in the Pasadena area, which seems to make a bit of sense for me being able to walk to a few places; very important comping from the east coast... and i guess i'll just get used to traffic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
