Where is TOKYOPOP?

[penboy]

Hi everyone! I looked up a link on this site the other morning, and saw a birds-eye-view of a map on the loacation of tokyopop (the us building).

I was wondering if anyone knows that tokyopop link for the map,
Thanks,
Penboy:confused:

Somewhere in LA maybe.

I think you mean this (http://www.tokyopop.com/LillianDP/photos/25457.html).
It's a satellite picture that one of the editors posted.

What? No Robofish on the roof?

That would be amusing, but I don't think the company that owns and runs the building would like that very much. Our office is on the 20th floor of a 30+ story building, so we're not the only ones occupying it. ^.^

Would they complain if a bunch of graffiti artists just happened to go and paint one?

Do visitors get free goodies? haha xD

I've visited once. And all I could do was ooh and ahh at all the neat stuff in there ^_^ I know for a fact that if I worked in the office there I'd get nothing done O_O

The building is called the People's Bank building and TokyoPop takes up the entire 20th floor. Its located at 5900 Wilshire Blvd. (CA) I've been there several times and boy its constantly buzzing with work~! At least it seems like fun work XD I want their red robofish carpet~! ^________^ I have photos of the TokyoPop lobby at my LJ (http://shutterbox.livejournal.com/13155.html). But~this is before the leak they had (after a horrible rainstorm) so many of the posters in the lobby had to be changed due to water damage. (including our ShutterBox one~ whaaa~) I'll try to get updated photos in the near future. Far as I know, the main work spaces still have open cubicle desks and lots of computers where all the in house editing, translations, and other prepping for the books-going-to-print stuff happens. There's also at least 3 separate rooms, that I know of, used for office meetings and interviews. Everyone there has always been super friendly to talk to~

Waaah, I wanna red robofish carpet xD

I'm pretty sure the leak was because of some bathroom water pipe break on the 25th floor or something like that. They are STILL airing out the walls every once in a while and that was months ago. (Unless there was a new flood last week.)

When we had the heavy rains last year some of the windows leaked, but the fancy posters are all on inside walls. Also, the posters get changed on an irregular basis anyway, even if there's not water damage.

Yes, many,many months ago~over a year ago in fact. Just repeating what I was told at the time, because they still weren't sure what had happened. ^________^
