Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Yeah, it was a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. I made film. That's me with the shorter hair, in the back row, that's my cousin Mike next to me with the shortest hair in 1997. Our film Sunsets played the festival in SF, and I think that's where this shot was taken.

Yeah, it was a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. I made film. That’s me with the shorter hair, in the back row, that’s my cousin Mike next to me with the shortest hair in 1997. Our film Sunsets played the festival in SF, and I think that’s where this shot was taken. That’s Chris Chan Lee on the left. He just came out with Undoing and made Yellow. Justin Lin next to him who made Shopping for Fangs and as you know many other films, including Fast and Furious 3, Rea Tajiri smiling – she made Strawberry Fields and lives on the east coast. Quentin Lee who co-made Shopping for Fangs on the bottom right. He’s still trucking along in cinema. Cousin Mike Idemoto was the lead in Charlotte Sometimes, and is slowly working on film projects. You can imdb search all of these folks to see what’s going on in their lives. It was a great time in 1997 – 11 years ago… I’m proud to say I was there, and it was the genesis of the current “wave” of Asian American films. Sunsets is all but forgotten now, the kids who are turning out feature projects on hi-def video have no idea what sound sync 16mm is all about. The BS we went through is still around for sure, but it’s a little bit better for everyone, I’m glad to have a part in that. Here’s where that link exists.

A big pack of folks came through the Incidental Nature exhibition at GR2 on saturday. It's been a little while since Robert Bellm has been to LA, he said 5 years, so his friends from Art Center came through, and bunch of others just to say congrats, and welcome back. One visitor even flew in from SF just to be there, meet Rob, and that's awesome people will do that. I think he bought a handful of...
A big pack of folks came through the Incidental Nature exhibition at GR2 on saturday. It’s been a little while since Robert Bellm has been to LA, he said 5 years, so his friends from Art Center came through, and bunch of others just to say congrats, and welcome back. One visitor even flew in from SF just to be there, meet Rob, and that’s awesome people will do that. I think he bought a handful of pieces. PCP couldn’t be here, and was missed. He’s a new dad, that’s how it goes. kozydan, well, they’re So Cal folks and they have a lot of friends, tons. They all came out, and I know they deserve the smiles they get from the people they make happy. That’s Robert Bellm in the middle. I think he had a good night. Like I said, he hasn’t been to LA in a while, so this was sort of like his homecoming. Jean Aw from Notcot. My hero. Michelle Borok who’ll you see blogging soon on the front page and Buff Monster, who’ll be showing at GRNY soon. Buff’s been great lately. I don’t know about the stash… I do wonder if this is the start of dirty sanchez. This was insane and a testament to their fans. Bunnyfish cookies? Amazing, and against the grain! Cookies make people happy and if you weren’t around, you would have missed out. This was a paparazzi moment. Cameras came out in force at this moment. A tattoo of bunnyfish. Neat clothing tag. She also has a Choe whale. Dan was hungry and this was some weird pasta. Glad I caught this moment, I doubt anyone else saw it. Dj Frosty from dublab… see kozy in the background eating. I’m pretty good at catching people at their worst. It was a good night, felt like old times. I hope that was the look that Michelle gave me when it was totally packed. If it was, then I know we were in the same place.

Favre lost today, but had a stunning year. I'm assuming he's going to be back to do the Green Bay thing one more time. How did he just come back from being so bad? Anyway, that's Albert Reyes in the photo. He might not be Favre with the football, but he routed for Favre, since he's the last of the old schoolers still in the game. He doesn't like Tom Brady, since he said that when Brady was in high...
