The amount of ego and sense of entitlement with which you enter is exactly proportional to the amount of pain you&#8217;ll experience before you leave. Channel 101 is where you learn three things: [h]ow to fail, how to succeed, and finally, how there is no difference between the two.&#8221; Like FWD:labs, they have monthly events in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>Episode two of &#8220;Ikea Heights&#8221; will be screening June 28 at Cinespace in Hollywood and uploading soon thereafter.<\/p>\n<p>(Thanks to Scott Gruber for the tip.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;IKEA Heights&#8221; is billed as a &#8220;furniture store melodrama&#8221; shot guerrilla-style at IKEA in Burbank.
