So much Domo imagery in 7-11, it’s actually incredible. I didn’t see a special drink flavor that was specifically Domo. But there are plenty of cup designs. It’s funny how the Domo designs below hold plain non Domo cups. I’ve always liked Domo’s friends. Those bats are interesting. Whoa these are weird. I’d rather have a plain Domo design. This is fun. Domo coffee. Perfect for his teeth. This is the simplest and coolest design. The Domo cup. It’s cool how Domo sometimes works as the object itself. That’s a sign of an interesting design.

Korean short filmmaker wearing all white. Yes white pants. The dude with the hair and sunglasses, the actor of course. It’s fun doing interviews when the dudes don’t know English well. The dude the hair said. I’m an actor thank you very much. That was it. I also didn’t get a chair to sit on. It’s amazing how much people want free stuff. There’s totes and keychains, but one lady thought she could take one of these directors chairs. Cyndi and Mark. This is what happens when you say, “hold my camera please.” Notice how the car hood says Asian American Cinema! Yes, it’s a genre. Even the young ladies in short skirst watch from far.

I want these dolls so they light up my room in darkness. I’ll prey that they’ll come to life every night. And if I’m lucky, they will be like Weird Science when Kelly LeBrock turns into a real life woman, except these will be gloomy and make weird poses all the time. I’ll just stand there in silence and feel like I’m into feeling like doom. We’re not happy, the world isn’t happy, and these dolls are just so goth, there’s no tomorrow. I got all this text from the box they come in.

The Bangals are really coming and will be here in LA quite soon. It’s an honor to work with Le Merde on this. We also got a rare shipment of the David Choe Lazarides book. Another honor to have it. While there’s so much to do, I still enjoy products and maybe that’s why I own a store and more. Both of these items should be available in some quantities during the Biennale. Keep in mind product fans, Giant Robot stores will have them available too.

Another year goes by and it’s the SDAFF again. I’m there tomorrow through saturday. If it’s anywhere as fine as it was before, then I’ll be in good shape. The SD fest is a bit different than the other Asian / Asian American film fests. It’s run with an iron fist by one woman, Leanne Kim, and has a distinct air of pseudo celebritydom in an Asian American way, but at the same time is definitely small and family feeling. You get both. I’ll do a run down one day of how all of these fest relate to each other. But not now! I’ll be blogging and doing the Twitter thing from SD. My efforts are for the Toyota Directors Chair website and program. In the end, Toyota is doing something great for these fest especially in a down trodden year. Not one person can say anything bad about it, unless they’re willing to cut a fat check. Bottom line, enjoy it or stay at home. Here’s my post from last year. SDAFF
