Old is new

During crunchtime, we've had friends come in to help. Kevin just moved to L.A. and came to the office for the first time, but has been on the GR Lounge forever. Check out his Bill Bear badge from way back.


I haven't seen Erica since Wendy and I got married last summer. She's a long-time reader, and was glad to help during downtiime on a business trip. She's an even longer-time friend of Wendy's. They've known each other since high school.


Last year's intern Mimi is back from her summer abroad in China. She brought blind-box Gundams for us from Hong Kong, and got her back in the rotation.

Lots of combinations of old and new. Speaking of which, what's up with all these new bands that sound like old bands?

Sea Wolf = The Church
Shout Out Louds = The Cure
Silversun Pickups = Smashing Pumpkins
VHS or Beta = Big Country

There are more, but that's another post.
