Well we’re finally here, our last weekend at 7518 Sunset Blvd. Moving is bittersweet. Speaking of which…want to help us move?? Sign up here.
We’ve lived in this place as The Ruby LA for over a year and a half. And in the Nerdist School days, since 2014. That’s a long time.
The original space was a backroom that Meltdown Comics didn’t use but for storage, and it was all painted white. The green room used to have a piano in it. The front window had a weird Chris Hardwick cutout. The stage has been orientated in at least four different ways. The bathroom faucet has NEVER had hot water, though I try every single time. Nicole Villela and Zach Tabacco were our first interns. There’s rumors that the TMNT mural in the back is done by the actual artist for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Tom one time found $50 in the electric panel, because this was a system for paying people back at one point. Before Venmo. Don’t look for any money there now, that system has long since been abandoned. See: Venmo.
As we leave this space, we are excited for what awaits us. But the quirks, interesting smells, and the 3000 sunglasses from comic-con in our Sunset home will be greatly missed. At 7518 Sunset Blvd, we’ve made best friends and new family, watched hilarious shows, and bid sad farewells. And we’ll do it all again one more time this Sunday evening. So join us, as we say goodbye to Sunset. All of our improv teams will perform, with maybe some special guests. We’ll eat pizza, share memories, and say goodbye to an old space. And hello to our new adventure.
