I applied a couple of years ago and was rejected. I believe that was the right choice for them and me. I have gone to a couple of their fundraisers and their presence in the community is very important. I work in a beautiful studio with storage, in a quiet part of San Francisco and did i mention that there is parking and easy public transportation? My life at Francisco Studios....
