This is a bit of silly post, but I have no inspiration for anything creatively interesting today. So, instead I’ll just note - in e-diary fashion - that my entire relationship to Los Angeles can be traced through a local coffee chain named Coffee Commissary. It started in Burbank, where I worked my first LA-based gig, as the assistant to John Lee Hancock while he worked on post on The Founder (with Michael Keaton). Right down the street from our editing studio, on West Olive, was Coffee Commissary. Coffee runs, plenty of lunches and dinners there. Sometimes I’d work there in the morning before heading to the office. I was living in Boyle Heights then, in a big open loft near a beer-bottling factory. Now I live in Palms, near Culver City and I go to the Coffee Commissary there — have worked there through unemployment and many busy weekends too. It’s really a haven for all freelancers, open 7AM-8PM every day. I find myself working back at the Burbank location, after taking a meeting at Disney. It’s still the cozy, lively, writer-friendly spot that it was years ago. Delicious food too…
