This roomful of workstations was offered for sale at auction in 2015 after the closure of 38 Studios. The lawsuits surrounding the failure of this gaming startup are still pending. You can read more about 38 Studios and it’s connection to Red Socks star Curt Shilling here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/38_Studios
Yup, that’s yours truely with my best ‘who do you think yer foolin’ face on. I have no memory of this Santa encounter but considering my attire I’m going to guess that it was not in December. I know my family did visit Santa’s Land in Vermont so my best bet is that this shot was taken there.
I’m a bit perplexed on the copyright on this one; the mural was painted by José Narezo but I captured this image of it. So I went with a copyright on this image of the mural.
The mural is painted on the rear exterior wall of the historic Regent Theater in my home town of Allegan Michigan. The Regent is a art deco style opened in 1919 in a former horse livery. It is run by a non-profit and is in use as a first-run movie theater.
