VISIT WITH NIKI AT CULVER CITY, CA

October 12 – Tuesday afternoon we drove from TT Wilderness Lakes to see Niki in Culver City, CA where she lives and works. We wanted to allow plenty of time for traffic, but there was not much traffic going west (a lot going East). We arrived in Culver City early enough to drive over to Marina Del Rey. That was a waste of time -- got this glimpse of the beach!!

Then we met Niki at ZOIC Studios where she works as an VFX Coordinator for feature films, etc.

ZOIC seems to be a great place to work. Modern décor – Niki calls it “Industrial”. This is one way to get upstairs. The area in the far right edge is where they eat. The Studio provides breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day.

Niki’s co-workers greeted us warmly and enthusiastically welcomed us to the Studios. They all had high praise for Niki and the job she is doing for them!! That was good to hear.

Here are the guys who do the Commercials. I saw all of these good looking young hunks together in a cubicle and just HAD to get a picture!!

Here is Ken with John Hamm, Mad Men!!

After a tour of the Studio, we went to the home that Niki shares with three other young women. A couple of her roommates were there.

Niki’s friend Maxx came over to meet us. What a nice young man and good looking, too! He works at another Studio and also for Sony.

Then we all went out to Mexican dinner in downtown Culver City.

It was fun seeing where Niki works and meeting her roomies and friends!! She said her mother was going to be jealous because we got to do it all before she could!! HA HA Vickie!!
