The Cavemen of b5media Find New Digs
Straight from the horse’s mouth, we’re hearing that b5media is relocating its offices across Toronto. Our information suggests they are going up in the world, leaving their two-man basement for a three-man cave.
Can it really be true that a “major blog network”, funded by venture capital, is operating from a cave? Well, Jeremy says so. It must be true. What humility.
Here at Syntagma, we have obtained the first footage of the entire b5 team of ten hard at work in their new cave :
Isn’t that the sweetest thing you’ve ever seen?
In complete contrast, Syntagma Media has from the beginning worked out of the palatial, Grade 1-listed pile of Syntagma Towers, pictured below :
In case you’re wondering, the figure in the foreground is yours truly, kneeling in thanks for our good fortune. What you don’t see are the hordes of paparazzi gathered beneath the battlements.
And just to quash the latest rumour : no, Kate Middleton doesn’t work for us. She’s just joined the b5ers in their cave.
Hah, I’d hate to pay the rent on those towers
Kickass view though

And good luck as a troglodyte, Jeremy. Great way for businesses to cut costs.

Yeah, it’s still free. We might move into office space we actually pay for sometime spring / summer

LOL!! I’m thinking more batman than troglodyte!

Yep, I suppose hanging upside down in a belfry is another option, Cyndi. Cheap too.

No no no, you’re missing the point. Batman…cool toys, a great car, tight latex suit…yum
Batcave beats palatial towers anyday!

Ahhh, that’s it. Well, I don’t know about the tight latex suit, but the other things are quite appealing.
However, the view from the turrets here over the Great Plain of Syntagma really takes some beating.

And here are all the b5ers assembled together under one roof - see picture.

They’re a spiky lot aren’t they, Hsien? Good to see they’re so well disciplined though.

Yes John, great views are a good thing. If you really like great views, you
should come visit the travelog section of my blog…we just got back from
Guatemala and I’m slowly typing out my trip journal and adding the
pictures. The country is stunning.
What’s Guatemala got to do with a mixed media art blog? Inspiration! What I suffer for b5

Great views, indeed, Cyndi. It all sounds like a terrific adventure.
