Jeff & Rob Visit Lucasfilm

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the sometimes-you-win dept.

Last fall Hemos started working for Perforce: one of their clients is Lucasfilm. One thing led to another, and last week I got to visit their Presidio facility in San Francisco. Their security policies prevent me from saying anything about the super sweet things I saw inside the building, but I can post this picture of us next to the Yoda statue outside the front door. Thanks to Matt Janulewicz for getting us in the front door and showing us around, Daryll Jacobson for opening a cool door and Tina Mills for pressing click. I can now say that I've been physically closer to Starwars.com than I have to Slashdot.org since the 1998 when it lived under my desk. Finally, the gauntlet has been thrown: if you work somewhere cool (Pixar? Apple? NASA? The White House? Comerica Park?) drop me an email! I am not above using T-Shirts as bribery to see cool places!

      And when he says he can't say anything, he doesn't mean he signed some sort of agreement, he means he literally cannot say anything. A guy in a brown robe walked up, slowly waved a hand in front of his face, and said, "you cannot say anything about the things you saw inside of this building."

    You can see the dungeon where Lucas rapes our childhood memories.

    Whatever happened to the scrappy twenty-somethings I met at the Hilton annex at Comdex?

    Nerd goes to Lucasfilm; can't talk about it. No news at 11.
