Watch the "V" Trailer

"V - Pilot" on ABC Nov. 3rd!

Of course, scenes of this remake of the 1980's series were filmed in our Pendrell Suites Star Stay Three--it's the suite with green walls.

Then, the characters rush outside, stand at the front of Pendrell Suites and stare up at this gigantic spaceship hovering above the building.

(Imagine what Mulder would tell Scully: "Didn't I tell you...")

"V - Pilot" Trailer released

The remake of "V" the 80's TV series about aliens produced by ABC released some trailers recently.

Some scenes were shot at Pendrell Suites--a.k.a. "Alien House".

• The pale green walled apartment is our Star Stay Three (3 - 5 secs. in)--this is the suite where Jackie Chan's scriptwriter in "Rumble in the Bronx" stayed while that movie filmed in Vancouver. Brian Dennehy also shot a movie there, among other stories about the suite.

• "V" actors also rush out the front of Pendrell Suites and stare up at a hovering spaceship--(at 45 secs).

According to published sources, the TV series will air in early 2010.

NEW TV Coverage from Seattle!

Saint Bryan from KING5 TV in Seattle called me on Monday to say the piece we shot, along with cameraman Mike Hays was going to air on "Evening Magazine" on Wednesday evening.

I thought it was great coverage in that it highlighted the hotel with its Hollywood association.


Of course, having the aliens help us out was cool, too.

Here is a link to the clip:

2010 Olympic Deal

I own a small hotel and tour company. They are both fun and profitable.

Now we have the 2010 Winter Olympics coming and my unique assets should command a premium.

Some of the issues are:

• Do we just rent out our accommodation?
• Can we become a hospitality venue with a compelling marriage of Hollywood North PLUS the Winter Olympics?
• What an fascinating insight into negotiating a deal!

We're going to document it here! So stay tuned!
