We're flying along with renovations on our new interim event center located in Hollywood. All major renovations will be done by tomorrow. For the rest of the week, we'll be focusing on walls, lighting, furniture, and installing the A/V equipment. For those interested, the bar will be set-up by Monday!

We'd like to thank the following members for assisting with the lease deposit and funding the renovations:
Dan Abrams (producer), JC Spink (manager/producer), Betty Thomas (director), and Anonymous.

Our new neighbor Laser Pacific has been kind enough to donate the usage of their parking lots for our events.

We also want to thank technical advisor Steven Cohen (Warner Bros.) for assisting with the A/V design. And a special thanks to members Stephanie Austin & Scott Thaler (line producers), and Carol Wood (environmental designer) for creating blueprints and sharing innovative ideas.

We're needing the following donations, so if you're in the process of upgrading or finally cleaning out your garage...
1. Refrigerator / Freezer
2. Bar Stools (we can mix and match)
3. Bar Tables (we can mix and match)
4. Flat Panel TVs
5. Microwaves

Our first event in the new space will be next Tuesday, March 4th at 7:30pm with Benjamin Barber on The Future of Consumerism. Invite will be sent out tomorrow.

Special Announcement:

We are thrilled to announce that we have just signed a lease for a 3,000 sq. ft. event space in Hollywood that will serve as our interim event space while we transition into our larger permanent event facility - The Catalyst Center.

It's centrally located near the corner of Highland & Melrose. Over the next two weeks, we'll be renovating the space to get it ready for a ramped-up event calendar which will include over 5 events per month... continuing our exciting thought leader series, science and tech innovation series with frequent partner Wired Magazine, entertainment industry mentorship workshops, and new member orientation events.

The Naked Hill is a new personal blog I'm launching to give The Hollywood Hill's members, the entertainment community, and our partners around the world more comprehensive coverage of our organization's internal operations and activities. It's also meant to be a sounding board for ideas, thoughts, and experiences related to The Hollywood Hill's mission.

The other co-founders of the organization, Ori Neidich (Media Tools & Post-Production Technology Engineer, DreamWorks Animation) and Paris Hauter (Marketing Director, The Hollywood Hill), our terrific advisors, our very committed strategy council, our hundreds of entertainment industry members, and our current employees will weigh in from time to time.

I'm really looking forward to shedding more light on how we have designed the business plan for The Hollywood Hill and other related entities (The Catalyst Center and Armchair Revolutionary, the vision we have for bringing Hollywood's social change activites into the 21st digital century, what it's like to launch and run a leading entertainment industry social change membership organization as a 30-year-old in a town run by 60, 70, and 80 year old billionaires and multimillionaires, and the tectonic, under-discussed shifts that are reshaping the world. I'll also post about our real-time progress as we move ahead. Looking forward to everyone's comments. Enjoy.

-Ariel Hauter, Executive Director
