In Response To: Magical Mystery Tour: Stop 2 (Godot)

: Back on the Bus, Y'all

: Travelling north along South Halsted Street, past the University of Illinois
: at Chicago, not to be mistaken for the University of Chicago, which is
: south of the city.

: Hey we're going the Wrong Way! What about the campus bookstore where Alex
: bought his copy of Think C? Or the Mac lab were Jason, Greg and the boys
: played Minotaur all night every night?

: "Quiet back there, the driver is concentrating."

: Continuing north onto North Halsted Street we take a right, cross the river,
: and on to our next destination.

: 350 W Ontario, 7th Floor
: Chicago, IL 60610

: Bungie's 2nd headquarters. And yes, the 7th Floor!

: Google Maps will drop you right outside the building.

: Bungie, now making the Myth series, moved here in May 1998. When the Story
: page published the address back in May 20, 1998 it was asked (by Bungie)
: to remove it. Why? Well according to Matt Soell they didn't want more
: "sightseers and weirdos and weirderos" visiting. Fear of
: Abandoned Rental Trucks perhaps?

: Of course their new address was already on their own website and a couple of
: days later they sent out a Bungie newsletter saying they had moved and
: gave their new address. Go figure. As one person remarked at the time
: "Perhaps they didn't want Story page weirdos and weirderos
: visiting." Well, apart from Mr. Smith, I do not know who they would
: be referring to. ;)

: Now if you care to look at the monitor on the seat in front of you we'll give
: you a short movie tour of Bungie studios as it was back in late 1999. Your
: tour guide is none other than Alexander Seropian (Bungie CEO). Yes, we
: spare no expense on this tour. Enjoy.

:

: Cheers
: Hamish

Thank you, Alexander, for the detailed nutritional information on that fatty eggnog! Onward, Magical Mystery Tour, onward!
