Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
At around 3pm on Sawtelle, post meeting, post lunch, and all that stuff, I heard a bang, that was obvious a vehicle accident of some sort. The following one second I looked down the street, and I saw a scooter down, and a man lying in the street. I quickly walked down the 50 yards or so. Right away, a dude was there kneeling over the guy to check him out. His arms were sprawled out and I can see pain in his face.

Gary Chou is the man. When he's not doing some projects including Goh Nakamura, he's helping people out including us. What does he do? Anything web related and more. He's a man with a plan, and is moving from SF to NYC. Yesterday, he hung out at GR, and tomorrow, more GR. Thanks for helping us out. There's a lot of work going on. We ate at Amandine for breakfast. If you're in LA, I suggest you check this out. Amandine. That was my breakfast. Ratatouille omelet. It's one of my favorites.

Hopefully, we'll put up the video that Martin shot of Dehara giving a passionate speech during his second sake toast where this photo originates. We don't do these often, but when a guy travels 1000s of miles to be here, it makes the night more special. We're not the gigantic gallery – which would ofter a different crowd and perspective, we're not a museum which would make this impossible, but we do have a sense of family that other places might not provide. That goes a long way. If we can keep doing this, it's worth doing forever. You can see opening photos here in transmissions. Dehara and Kat. I'll bet Kat got a nice sketch out of him. Look at those smiles! The Canon T2i does it again. Sharp. That's the Daibutsu – Golden Buddha. The Jizo has a deep meaning. I've written about it before. It's both historical and cultural, and although he brings it his way, it's more educational than 99% of the art out there. Lo and behold, people actually learned something by going to his art shows. His themes are deep and meaningful, while he messes with the norm. Dehara can make effortless sketches and he did this for anyone who asked. That's Cate shooting a Twitter shot. My… Dehara's fans have changed. It's not just the toy fan, but fans with bangs!

Giant Robot New York. It's a nice long hallway of tons of products, art, and more. You should definitely stop by. There's so many cool things there. That's Mark walking down the hall. Mark also walked a block and picked the below up for me which I was skeptical of. Sometimes, the flavoring is awful.
