Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
It’s impressive when you see a guy at the top of his game doing his thing. I guess it’s Lebron James, although I’m still somehow a Kobe guy, and it’s also Takashi Murakami. He came to LA to visit a bunch of people, and I was one of them. He came to hang out to deal with MOCA stuff since he has a show there in October, but he also came to WLA to walk around GR stores, and we talked a bunch at gr/eats, then he took off in his van. Aside from him, he brought a ton of staff, a designer came by, two measuring dudes who measured the heck out of GR2, and more. I think he had a crew of 8 or so, and I guess that’s how he rolls.

Products that caught my eye The art game is for little kids too. Make your own Play-Doh image, and put a dome on it. Of course, it takes no firing, but the plastic will prevent it from getting messed up. Everyone wants in on Sculpey Kids. Ribs by Samsonite. The t shirts, that have skeleton prints are over. It’s time to take it up a notch to your suitcases. This is the way. I just bought this bad boy from KB toys. Amazing. This thing transforms your voice to sound like a Transformer. When I get photos of me wearing it, I’ll show you! At first I thought, there’s no way, this would fit over my head, but this isn’t for kids. It’s for adults. Fuck the kids.

Mr McGee’s next show. Towa Tei is going to play music too. Tokyo June 3 at Watari Museum. I was hoping to get to Japan to see, help, whatevers for this show, but maybe next time. We talked about this show since last year, Japan in 07, but maybe another time. It’s fun working with (Fong 06, Pimple 07) Mcgee installing. When you think things need to be a certain way, they don’t, and when you think things are fine, they aren’t. You can’t tell exactly what he wants sometimes, that’s the fun part. Even with the simple installation of the GR2 mini show, I thought I did fine, but then I get a simple email telling me to remove a tiny bracket that I didn’t notice. It’s some of those little things that make his vision his, and it’s why we enjoy the work.
