- My accountant was addicted to cocaine. I'm sorry. I will pay you in cash.
That was Barry. I had just left the 1st Federal Bank conveniently located on the Ocean Drive just down from my new house. A few days earlier I had deposited there a bounced check only to just discover that my account was overdrawn. I had spent the money already on the rent and the bank manager was furious.
Barry kept saying that everything was fine and those were just small cash flow issues. He would be paying me in cash from now on. When he tried to pay the landlord for what turned out to be a three month overdue rent in a movie clip, I knew there were reasons to be worried. But Barry did pay me back and I wanted to believe in the vision. I did not want to go back look for a job in a restaurant and I did enjoy taking a bus to be part of the studio at Robertson and Freeway 10 filled with actor mice, mannequins, flying fish and an old TV set. Fangchou, Barry and I. Changing the future of the internet. We were finally somebody.
