I'm not thrilled with the new Episodes setup. It's the second floor in an ?8? storey building with an elevator. The only way up or down is the elevator, and it's one on a floor ( i.e. one on a floor, elveator opens up onto floor ). So, what happens when you are waiting for the elevator, the door opens and people are indise ? Well there is not avoiding "contact". And what happens if it's someone who knows you ? You are definitely busted.
Personally, I always liked setups like the last one, with very small buildings. I also like the ability to walk down the stairs. It lets you make quicker getaways whan you need to, and you can turn around and go the other way ( whether coming or going ) if something spooks you. For example, when I was at the previous Epsidoes and LE was walking in while I was walking out - odds are i wouldn't have been so lucky as to pass them on the stairs.
The restuarants are much better in the immediate area, though.
Today were a bunch of Episodes regulars. I almost didn't recognise Kelly; she had these long braids like Bo Derek in "10", but dark rather than blond ( she used to have very short hair ). April, sually one of my faves has gone from "nice" to "is stating to put on a little weight" to "needs to lose some weight". I forget the others names ( never been with any of the three, but they have all been there before ). None of the three are anything "special" in the looks dept, although one is the girl who often wears the "see thru" outfits.
