Fiend, Thanks for coming by man...and for making yourself known. Sometimes I think people from the boards are dropping by and not saying anything being sneaky and stuff -although booboo is pretty hard to hide. Almost didnt' recognize him without his mask. We're pretty easy to talk to and we're not trying to give that New York we're too cool to talk to the common folk vibe. Of course when I come across those guys, I'm always thinking, "dude, why you have to be like that, you're working retail". Anyway, its all good, hope to see all you peeps soon.

Hey there is a large NY Robot contingent and we aren't too cool to talk to the common folk. Why just the other day we asked someone on the street for the time of day.

Awww, sorry man. I wasn't very clear, I wasn't dissing on New Yorkers in general. I guess I was being stereotypical but we have those stuck up retail ass holes here in L.A. too. They like freaking chinese waiters except they wear black and can't spit in your food.

Ok, who wants to defend the chinese waiter population now...hehe.

Dayam, I'm jealous now, got a fair distance to travel if I ever want to drop by. Oh well, I can always order online, GR are super efficient about processing orders.

You should try getting some test drives, I went to a Subaru dealership with one of my crew recently. We ended up throwing a top of the range Impreza around country roads for an hour, with the salesman holding on in the back daring us to do even more crazy stunts.

In reality, I'm only a junior designer, I couldn't even afford to insure the fuckin' car. But it was fun.

Ryan, when you're here, go to the Ferrari dealer on Wilshire Blvd. and see how long you last. If they kick you out, just walk east about a block and get some better salesmen at the Lamborghini dealer.

The GR store unofficially opened last Saturday. We're still free styling on a lot of stuff but we're 95% operational.

Currently we are carrying the same items at the physical location as we are online. And the prices are the same...except we don't charge for shipping of course.

We'll have candy at the counter come Halloween.

You make it sound like the Death Star...except its not in galaxy far, far away and you don't wear uniforms. You should sell droids though...and bacon. That would push the GR store towards utter perfection (opposed to udder perfection which involves completely different goals).

Okay, I know...I've lost it...80 hours weeks do this to me.
