Collaboration

Bringing people together is almost like having a synchronized swimming team. At first, each swimmer is doing their own thing, with their own style and movement. One swimmer might join in with another and move together. This can start a ripple effect and if the movement is beautiful with combinations of swimmers, eventually every swimmer in the pool is moving according to the movement of the team. On this level, multiple swimmers moving in sync, can create a combination so beautiful it attracts spectators.
This is what it was like over the weekend collaborating with a combination of talented artists and musicians in Orange County. Each one had their own unique style to contribute to the group, making the music that was produced remarkable. With Mike Bergen on the keys, Wes, "the mess" working the beats, Brad Jones on the guitar, Brandon handling some entertainment and a few other talented people in the mix and behind the scenes, the day was made wonderful and productive.

The Spurgeon Location

The Spurgeon Location 

The Spurgeon Building is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful buildings in Santa Ana. If you are trying to have a look at the building, you need to navigate via internet or here because it is not yet on the physical map. The Spurgeon Building is located on 4th street between Sycamore and Broadway in Downtown Santa Ana. You can get there from the Main exit off of the 5 fwy in  Santa Ana. 

The building is beginning to look as friendly on the inside as it does on the outside, especially on the second floor. The office spaces available for rent vary in both size and price, but the smaller ones start at $300+. The office spaces have already started to fill with young professionals including Jouvon Michael Kingsby, whom has a museum showing coming up in August at the Fullerton Museum Center.  There is also Santanero, which is a local station for information about artists, art and the happenings around the town as well as a few other businesses. 

The area reminds me of a could be mix between New York City and Downtown LA located in Orange County. There is a parking structure located behind the Spurgeon Building if you are driving on 4th street, its located off of Sycamore. There are a few new residential spaces opening up in the area if you're looking for an office space you can walk to from home. The area is undergoing lots of positive development that is attracting young professionals looking to grow.

There are a few rooms available for rent on the second floor in the Spurgeon Building, ready to go ranging from $300+ in price per month. The space is ideal for new attorneys in the Orange County area, considering the courthouse is right around the corner.
