I have been doing a lot of thinking lately based on the realization that I have entered a stage in my life that many fear but all must overcome, the transition from Student to Professional. I would think that there are many like me. And like me, they might have dreams of being one with their community while relentlessly pursuing what they love to do. I had an Idea today that I should find these people, bring them together under one roof and stun the City with a pinpoint of creative light so bright that San Diego’s outer shell of mediocrity would be burned clean off. Of course, I’m not really sure how to do this yet, an it could prove to be a challenge.

Now for me, there are a few things I desire at this point.

One is to move closer to the Greater San Diego Metropolitan Area where I can easily walk to a bus stop, a grocery store, hell, Maybe even a bar. (I don’t have a car and I don’t want one and I think my quality of life would improve living in a nice community that is central to the City. Ideally South Park or Golden Hill.)

Two is to have a kick-ass office space (where my bed is not visible from my desk). A space that is built for getting the good stuff done. A space where I can have other people around to bounce ideas off of, where I can bring an intern to help me out with out creeping them out with my laundry that still needs to be folded. A place that is dedicated to making ideas. Essentially – a coworking space limited to only the best folks you can find that all work for themselves in symbiotic fields.

So friends I propose to you a live work mansion of sorts. The house would be a sort of professional Fraternity of creative folks living and working together under one roof. The house would have a name and our individual creative forces could be promoted as one under this name. Not a firm or a co-op but more or less a Coalition of Creative Collaborators. It’ll be like killing two birds with one stone – except instead of killing ‘em We’re helping them Fly!!!! A-huh-Laaaaghh!!!! (tongue out and hang loose sign with both hands)

This may be a lofty dream of a creative utopia but I say lets do it. It will just take the right people and a realization of my detailed and complex schematics below.
