It’s Sunday in November and it’s predictably rainy in Portland – beautifully, dreadfully rainy. My 5-year old daughter was bouncing off the walls in our house and we needed a change of scenery. So, I bribed her with extra-special ice cream at Mia Gelato’s in the Pearl District. We then went to the largest bookstore in the world – Powell’s Bookstore on NW 10th and Couch.

The cool part of the day’s activities were yet another bribe to play arcade games at Ground Kontrol, which happens to be in eROI’s new office building and it was the perfect excuse to check out the progress of the new space that we are moving into in 12 days. Our new office space looks amazing, but I have no idea how it will be ready for our move-in date of Nov 30. I’m praying our contractor has a little magic up sleeve.

Back to telling you about Ground Kontrol. Back in time. Retro. Imagine all of your favorite games from 1982 and put them all in one large 2-floored room – Ms. Pacman, Centipede, Galaga, Street Fighter, and the list goes on. I have a vision of my daughters spending far too many quarters in that place, waiting for their Dad to take them home after work. For all its retro geekiness, that’s not such a bad vision.

Apparently, the drywall is getting installed this weekend which means all the electrical work is finished. I’ll swing by the new space on Monday. However, this post is mainly about showing you this picture of our current office setup – in some places, you literally have to walk on top of people’s desks to get to where you need to go. Insanity. Needless to say, we are all excited about having some elbow room in the new office. Cheers.

The countdown is on for our New Space (505 NW Couch, Suite 300). As you can see from the pictures below, we (meaning the contractors) have a whole lot of work to do in a short amount of time. The checklist includes voice + data cabling, finishing electrical work, HVAC system, replace broken windows, dry wall, interior windows installed, glass conf rooms, interior glass-and-steel garage door for fourth-floor conference room, kitchen, and a whole lotta other stuff. Stay posted on further updates on our new space.
