NEW YORK, NY -- In what's being described as a "bizarre twist of," I believe "fate" was the word, PHIL'S FUCKING OFFICE BURNED TO THE GROUND! Investigators are still looking into the cause of the fire, but I can vouch that this wasn't Phil's doing, as he was in Providence all weekend (setting different kinds of firessss). Besides, Phil loves his job.

Reports from the ground tell us that sharing the floor with Safehouse Pictures, the relatively new, now studioless production studio Phil works/worked at, was Under the Influence Productions, which is/was Ethan Hawke's company. Mr. Hawke had recently returned from Mexico, having shot there a bunch of footage for his latest project. Footage he was apparently quite excited about. I wonder how much, if any, was stored elsewhere.

Definitely lost in the blaze though was the absolute largest CD collection I ever saw with mine own eyes, belonging to a former music supervisor who now works as Mr. Hawke's editor, I think.

Such a shame.

UPDATE: I was just reminded that this is the second of my friends' workplaces to go up in smoke in the past year. Remember when Julianna and her fellow Aardman artists lost their models back in October? Damn.

This is why this world sucks. Places like Aardman and Safehouse burn down while places like [redacted], [redacted], [redacted], [redacted], [redacted], [redacted], [redacted], [redacted], [redacted], [redacted], [redacted], and [redacted] remain standing.
