Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Tilapia Pesto – available everyday. This tasted great. I’d get it again and again, and maybe it’s a bit too much food! Get this one if you’re hungry. Tentoji Donburi. Shrimp Tempura and egg on rice. This was the special yesterday. Simple, old school, and fine. gr-eats.com

Reader and friend Tim Hugh catches a tiny detail in Crossing Over. It’s tiny, but it’s in there. Thanks much Crossing Over! Directed by Wayne Kramer! Wow, he directs? Starring Harrison Ford (A GR customer), Ray Liotta (Narc), Ashley Judd (you know her), the Asian guy in the picture must be Justin Chon who plays Yong Kim. If you look at their cast list, there’s tons of Koreans in this. I guess there’s a liquor store scene, if not there should be a Korean Club, or maybe a film festival scene. I also see Leonardo Nam and Sung Hi Li in the credits. Leo, you know from GR. Sung Hi, from porno sites. SHL is now near 40! Time flies.

It’s thursday, and in two days, I’ll be up at Giant Robot SF to celebrate the 15 year art show. It’s not 15 years in SF, although sometimes it feels like it. The bay area has been the 2nd home for GR. It’s amazing how many people think we started out in the bay, but actually no, it’s been LA. So it’s fitting that we’re doing this show. The above image is in the show and it’s from our long time friends, kozyndan. Below is the show postcard. Lydia Fong aka Mr McGee is in it. That’s pretty cool.

After thinking about it more, and realizing if it’s arson, shouldn’t I file a police report? I got to the station where there’s one guy talking to an officer. That seems normal. Then there’s two officers joking around a computer laughing. It appeared that they were looking at photographs. Computers are the new donuts evidently. I wait ten minutes, and finally one leaves, then the other says, “may I help you?” I tell him the situation and he then tells me to get a fire report instead and sends me out. I tell him, it seems like arson, perhaps there’s bad guys to catch. Instead the fire department takes 5-10 working days to complete a report. Right now, they looked up my incident and the firefighters have my address wrong. Wrong street name, wrong address… Night of the fire, I even handed the “senior” a paper with my digits and address. I guess things just take time.
