Continuing the loft photos from the previous post, here are two shots of the loft in which Cory Doctorow lived, taken in May 2000 in celebration of our landing the first round of venture capitalist funding for OpenCola.
This loft is at the bottom of Fraser Street, a stone’s throw away from
Tucows. It’s split-level, with the upper floor being an open platform.
This first photo shows two OpenCola founders making an annoucement from
the stairs. Grad Conn is seated at the top of stairs; as an homage to
computer programmers everywhere, he is wearing socks and sandals.
That’s Cory standing with one of the gift lunchboxes to be given to
investors. The investors are watching from below; this would probably
be the last time they looked up at us.
The area to the left below the pennants is Cory’s tiki bar. Behind Grad, you can see the bedroom area.
Here’s a closer shot. Yes, that’s a “Tigger” costume hanging on the
clothes rack. That’s the kind of thing you shoudl expect in the home of
a Disneyland-obsessed guy like Cory. Note the cool bric-a-brac mounted
on just about every wal surface.

I remember Cory's loft very well. More crap than you could fit in a fairground flea market - which is where most of it came from, if I remember correctly. And the biggest damn cat I'd ever seen - I thought it was a dog.
Thanks, Joey. I left a note for Summer at her blog.
Awesome pics. Thanks!

Buster was not as big as a dog! He was a lovely and plush beast who I miss very much since his passing last August.

I wonder what a thought bubble from the head of the middle investor would say ...
Good...
