Small or large?
We've been working on the new issue of Giant Robot all weekend, and I love it. It's like when the Seven Samurai assemble to accomplish to kick ass.
Pryor is been back in town and he's been ministering to the color. Guest stars Kim, Janet, and Joyce came in to help us find mistakes in the text. Doug made it in to shoot some pics on the fly. Eric, Kiyoshi, and Wendy make it eight, so perhaps a better comparison is Dick Van Patten not using birth control, packing house full of kids, and hijinks ensuing.
Wait, I forgot to count me. Whew! I guess we're something else.
With a little extra time due to our cancelled Chicago trip, Wendy and I were able to lounge around on Saturday morning. First, we dropped by Silver Lake Coffee to drop off some flyers for our friend Christy Cheng's band Chop Chop (playing a FREE show at The Echo in Silver Lake tonight, so don' t miss it) and redeem a stamped-up card for a free drink. When I placed our order, the person said, "Would you like small or large?" Huh? I'd like to meet the dumbass who asks for small when getting a free drink.
We took the drink to go and had lunch at our new favorite place to eat, The Trails, in Griffith Park. The outdoors setting would be a perfect antidote to being in the office all day, every day. They finally had the vegan pie, which I've been dying to try. It's kind of like a meat pie but with fake meat! The filling was tasty, but of course the flaky and yummy crust is the main attraction. (Note to vegan friends: the dipping sauce has dairy ingredients, but the non-animal filling's flavor stands on its own, too.)
After that, we had to get some fresh peach pie. Yes, we've been eating a lot of sweets lately, but peach season is going to end any day now. When we got our ample slice, the always-nice person who helps us said, "You got a Pac-Man!" Indeed, there Pac-Man was on the crust.
We ordered one to go (it had a ghost on it) and Wendy was compelled to get a Trails T-shirt (but that's another story).
Since then, it's been back to work. Today we go over our printed-out mockup one more time to make sure it's bulletproof... Want to come help? Tomorrow, it ships and I'll be back to a more regular blogging schedule after that!

If you're nine, it makes you the Brady Bunch + the parents and Alice. I don't know what that says other than that chump Oliver not being around.
haha!
Man, I don't want to be Oliver. Better than being Sam the Butcher or the dog, I guess.
Went back to The Trails today. The special was a vegetarian chili, which was excellent. There were walnuts and apples in there, and the cornbread was excellent...
