Last but not least, Ganymede--garden theme, with conference rooms like Green Thumb, The Hive, Poison Ivy, and The Gnomb Home

Fomalhaut's theme is New York. In my opinion, it's the best of the buildings, following Andromeda.

Deneb is my home building, where my office is. Its theme is the jungle. All our conference rooms campus-wide our named along the theme of the building. Deneb features conference rooms named Stanley and Livingston, The Canopy, Victoria Falls, Monkey Business, and Concrete Jungle.

Anyways... ( photos of Deneb )

Borealis--its theme is Scandanavia... Not htat much fabulous art there yet, so only a few photos:

So, I've been promising photos of where I work for a while now. My brother once described it as "better than some art museums I've gone to" and sometimes I strongly agree.

Epic's new campus of buildings in Verona are all named after celestial terms, and each building has a different theme.

Building A--Andromeda--it's theme is "Epic Ecclectic"--this is where all the admin staff works, and therefore where all visitors see, so it's got the most art, interesting design, and really fun conference rooms.

Building B--Borealis--Scandinavia theme

Building C--Cassiopeia--our caffeteria/commons--newly finished, I don't have any photos of it yet--I'm waiting for them to finish it in the next few weeks before I take the photos

Building D--Deneb--Jungle theme--this is the building I work in

Building E--Endor--not yet built--will be a treehouse

Building F--Fomalhaut--New York theme

Building G--Ganymede--Garden theme

It's been a good weekend!

Yesterday I went to the Art Fair on the Square. It's a big event in Madison--hundreds of artists, mostly from the midwest. Epic buys all of our art for our campus at the Art Fair on the Square--and I LOVE Epic Eclectic art. I bought three prints-- two by Curtis Long--"Madison"--a Madison map with other Madison related clips around it (VERY hard to see in the scanned copy on his site--easier on the print--the original looked great!!!) and "Mad City Musings"--a slightly abstract view looking down State Street from the corner of State St. and Henry toward the capital. I also bought a print of "Autumn at the Union Terrace" by Steven Kozar. His work is amazing--to look at it, you'd swear it was a photograph, but it's painting. It's amazing the level of detail he gets in his paintings.

If you'd like to see other works by these artists, their sites are http://www.curtislong.com and http://www.stevenkozar.com respectively.


After the art fair yesterday I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean with KK and Krista. It was ok. I really liked everything but the ending. It felt like there was no true ending--just the setup for the sequel. I HATE when movies do that!

Today was also FABULOUS. Krista and I went for our spa day. Because she referred me to her apartment complex, we were each given a gift certificate to the spa as part of the referral bonus. We each had massages and facials. Plus I had a manicure while she had a pedicure. It was great. Sooooo relaxing. I'd definitely go back!

I can't WAIT for next weekend. I get my new apartment on Saturday. I"m moving boxes that weekend, but my furniture doesn't move until the 18th--I hired movers. It was too much of a pain to move into here, so I didn't want to put my friends through the pain of moving me back out. It's going to be great to not be in this apartment anymore. I really do despise it here. 9 days and counting!
