My name is Tomas Terstad, and I am Roger Smith.
Posted on 23. Aug, 2010 by JohnKnowles in Community, Hotel
Looking out the window, from the seventeenth floor it’s hard for me to grip what I’m seeing. Skyscrapers in different heights and shapes. Far down are hundreds of different people, coming from different places, all with different destinations. I’ve seen this place before many times, in media and movies. I’ve heard people singing about it, and I’ve heard people dreaming about it, but I never thought I would be seeing it with my own eyes. I’m in New York city.
I can’t help to think how I ended up here. The previous place that I could call home had a very different window view. There I could see tall mountains covered in snow, no matter the season.
In cold places I have glided over the snow, in hotter regions I have surfed waves, and in NYC I cruise the streets on my board. The world is like a one big playground, and for those that want it, it’s out there. All a person needs is a little curiosity and an open mind, to be able to spot all the fun that is around us. People will always be different and sometimes narrow minded, sometimes scared to stick out of the crowd and be different. I like environments where I know I can be myself, and where people don’t have to be afraid to be different. I mutually carry an open mind no matter where I am.
In no other element I feel more as myself, as I do when I’m dancing. I like to freestyle, and I like to find new ways of moving. The more crooked and bent the movement, the more it expresses me. No matter how I move, it’s got to me funky! Roger Smith represents that funk. All I want to do all day everyday is to put on my funky Roger Smith persona and get caught in the rhythm to where it reaches a point where everything else seems to disappear.
The things in life that makes me happy are nature, physical activity and sharing the good moments in life with friends. Sometimes a smile or a joke with a complete stranger can have an even more positive effect, in a sense that the bonding process happens ultra fast, and generates a powerful feeling of being alive.
I think that this is one of the main reasons to why I ended up in New York. I was lucky enough to find a place where my mentality fits in, and where I continuously meet potential friends from near and far.
To me New York is like a connecting dot on the planet where people with different languages, cultures and styles all share the city. It’s funny but after some time spent in NYC, you start to notice that many of the people you meet are not originally from here, and many others (just like myself), are just passing by.
Being Roger Smith is not hard, not straining and not fake. Everyday I meet Roger Smith. There is a little bit of Roger Smith in all of us, but since this all about me I’m going to say it.
My name is Tomas Terstad, and I am Roger Smith (even when I spin on my head).

Here at the Roger Smith Hotel, social media is less about being a ‘department’ and more about building a culture. People and stories have always been a part of the hotel and now with the reach of social networks more people can participate, connect and enjoy our community. We have an amazing staff here at the hotel and some have taken the initiative to make social networking a part of their jobs on a daily basis. If you have ever been to the hotel you have probably met them and hopefully agree with me when I say these three individuals are worth the follow on this wonderful June Friday!
Yamile Diaz:
Yamile is the face, heart and soul of Lily’s restaurant here at the Roger Smith Hotel. He takes customer service seriously and it shows. He speaks multiple languages ( great for our visitors from overseas ), he is willing to do whatever it takes to make a guest happy and most of all he cares. If you have the stomach to handle one of the most energized people you could meet please stop by and say hello to Yamile…Or you can find him on Twitter as @RSYamilio
John Knowles:
John is the President and CEO of Panman Production and has produced numerous films, live broadcasts and content for the Roger Smith Hotel.Most recently John and his team produced a series of six short films called “The Roger Smith Shorts” which were screened last night at the Brooklyn International Film Festival. His creative juices and passion for new innovative ways of sharing visual arts on and off line have taught me about a whole new way of creating and sharing stories.
John can easily be found -> On Twitter @PanmanProd @Pancity or see his YouTube channel Roger Smith News.
Melissa Rodriguez:
Melissa is one of our friendliest bartenders, although she is so much more. Aside from entertaining, serving and being a creative mixologist, Melissa is in culinary school and has started a food blog FoodVixenNYC. Melissa is a text book example of what it means to be a Roger Smith employee.

About ALS
Known in the United States as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, ALS is a rapidly progressing neurodegenerative disease that typically takes the life of patients within 2-5 years of diagnosis. It is caused by the degeneration of motor neurons, the nerve cells in the central nervous system that control voluntary muscle movement. It most commonly strikes people between the ages of 40 and 70, and affects men slightly more than women. ALS is the most common motor neuron disease worldwide and as many as 30,000 Americans struggle with it at any given time. There is no known cure for ALS and only one modestly effective FDA-approved treatment for the disease.
About Prize4Life
Prize4Life was founded by a group of Harvard Business School students when one of them, Avi Kremer, was diagnosed with ALS at the age of 29. Prize4Life works to accelerate the discovery of a treatment and a cure for ALS by using powerful incentives to attract new people and ideas, and to leverage existing efforts and expertise in the ALS field. Among other program initiatives, the organization currently administers the ALS Biomarker Prize Challenge, the Avi Kremer ALS Treatment Prize, and an ALS research portal (www.ResearchALS.org).

Marlo’s lover LuLu beckons from another dimension, while friend, and maddened inventor Bradrian W. Tangaurey laments at Camp Villain. Will Marlo be able to navigate his way through this fever dream to find the shoes or will humanity be doomed forever? If the Shoe Fits…
About the Director - Written by Pipe Adams
Born into a family of fur traders working their way through the Aleutians and the Bering Strait in the late 16th century, Marlo Leelan Brown was not always destined to make films. His name, literally translated, means the universal, or invincible prince. Young Marlo’s conception was nary cause for celebration, and his gestation and eventual birth a mere insurance policy to guard against the stark, endless Siberian winter. Just another maw to feed and, with hope, hands that would eventually grow strong enough to tear and render the priceless flesh from countless seals to add to the meager family coffers.
Time however, was on Marlo’s side and so Marlo danced the earth, a being reflected in the eyes of G-D, but yet a dead man inside, until the mid 90s. It was at this time that Marlo fell in with a bunch of like minded gents. Not immortals per say, but timeless characters nonetheless. For posterity’s sake, we shall call them the Original Hooligans. It was with the hooligans that Marlo discovered his true passion. Slowly, the hidden embers inside his mind, cold with age, began to warm, to glow. A fire was ignited inside of him. No longer the dancing dead, little Marlo Leelan was born anew. And the vehicle that brought young old Marlo back from the dead: Making Films.
But as he discovered his new found passion, changes began to occur. Each time Brown would look through his viewfinder a wrinkle would appear, a gray hair would sprout. Marlo Leelan Brown the foreverman, was now becoming just man.
Over the past decade Marlo has aged. Less like a fine cheese and more like a rusting washing machine in a dewy Bedford-Stuyvesant project courtyard, Marlo has forsaken eternal life for mortality to join the ranks of the Original Hooligan brotherhood and make films.
