Our mission

Are you that special person who - weary from trudging the endless superhighways - just longs to camp next to a glorious oasis of the mind? Do you desire to explore new frontiers, splash in shared ideas, fill your belly with the refreshing fruits of inspiration, and bask in the gentle rays of fond reflection?

Well, you can fuck right off. This, my friends, is not that place. This place is... The ShadowLands.

It's a sign





The Hollywood sign was officially dedicated in the hills above Los Angeles on July 13, 1923.

Originally reading "Hollywoodland", it was covered in 4000 light bulbs and intended as a short term advertisement for real estate. From the ground, the contours of the hills give the sign its wavy appearance, but from a comparable altitude, the letters appear to be level.

You can custom make your own Hollywood sign here. Handy tip for those sharing a home computer - why not make an obscene or offensive message for a family member, and leave it for them as a background image?
