Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
The DVD signing at GR2 went well. It's cool to support a funny film and have all of the main players come out to sign and meet some fans. Quite a few came through. See more pics at the GR Facebook or Flickr or Transmissions. That's Jessica Yu the director. She has an Oscar award for a previous film. That's huge.

The DVD signing at GR2 went well. It’s cool to support a funny film and have all of the main players come out to sign and meet some fans. Quite a few came through. See more pics at the GR Facebook or Flickr or Transmissions. That’s Jessica Yu the director. She has an Oscar award for a previous film. That’s huge. I was going to ask her to bring it, so she could let people check out her bling, but I forgot… Then it’s Smith Cho. She’s on Knight Rider. She came a bit late, but that’s how the stars do it. Jimmy Tsai the star of the movie. I think it’s his first acting role. He’s usually behind the camera. Roger Fan, who you might have seen in Annapolis, and Jim Lau, who plays the dad!

Those one of a kind instruments and so on. Arthur might be able to replace it all, but someone stole his lively hood out of his truck. Pretty harsh. This dude though, is a survivor, you will see him again. But if you got the time, or energy, take a look at the video. I interviewed him back in issue number 5. During my record scouring days, I found his lp. It was a super limited vanity pressed lp, but I wrote to the po box (this was before mass use of internet), and poof he wrote back. Any contribution can go here. No, I doubt he has paypal. Check his myspace as well. Yeah, even at this writing, he only has 5 friends. Here’s his arthurnakane.com site. It barely works.

Yes, I made Leonardo Nam eat ramen. A cool guy, he's working a lot acting in a ton of pictures, most notably Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, he gets gigs in "chick flicks!" He's come a long way since I first met him at the SFIAAFF a couple years ago.
