Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Mexican without Mexicans. Yeah. This place is amazing. Manhattan Beach Mexican food. El Sombrero #2. I hope the #2 doesn’t mean anything weird! It’s a neighborhood Mexican place that I can tell is well loved. It’s packed, it’s good, and people there seem happy. That’s David and Sun-min. So glad to have caught up with them. It’s been ages. Look at their burritos! Whoa. I opted for 2 chicken tacos. Pictured is only 1 taco. All so good. This was a tough one. It was chef Mina’s turn. She cooked us up noodles, chicken in spicy sauce, and ice tea. I don’t know why I feel the need to blog my ear, but see that scratch. Imagine this. My cat, put one claw into my ear. It was stuck. I was trying to get it out and in the process, sliced through my own ear. That line goes through. The below is my article on David Choe in the current Juxtapoz. I wrote it on the morning it was due. I think it came out pretty decent.

Do you watch Lost? Know this man? I'm going to interview him hopefully like none other. It's coming up May 15 2010. I'm already plotting my questions. It should be fun in all reality. This dude is totally cool, I don't think people really know who he is and he's one of the larger stars on TV. Want to come? Check out the Facebook link. We have some free slots.

Image: post art show. Family conferences are pretty sacred. This was post art show at the after party which took place at the Soho House. That's the Brothers Choe. Jimmy, David, and Paul in descending age order. You'd like to think they were talking for just a minute about how life has so far brought them to this point. It was perhaps the biggest possible gallery show. Glad I shot this with 1600...

Jimmy, David, and Paul in descending age order. You’d like to think they were talking for just a minute about how life has so far brought them to this point. It was perhaps the biggest possible gallery show. Glad I shot this with 1600 iso. I’ll bet their mom might want a copy, but there’s beer and hi ball drinks in the pic. Parking attendants, tons of them in front of the gallery. Just walking up, you know this one is special. It’s just massive from the front. This is a weird blow up figure in the window. This must have been a huge clothing shop before hand. The thrift store blankets are awesome. A few of the smaller works. This art exhibition was huge and David brought his A game. So much art filled this giant room. I didn’t think he had enough when I visited him at his studio, but it got done in a fury. The crates were from JANM show, but they look a lot different here! Whale guts ala the streets of Taiwan. David and Nikki. That red scarf looks amazing. I want this one! Hook me up someone. Ben and Bobby Hundreds. I like how Ben is really into sports. That’s cool. Their athletic based action wear (what a term) still has some athletics involved. Nikki, Basterd David, Inglorious Eli Roth, and his friend with the fruity name of Peaches Geldof. David and Bobby Hundreds. The giant whale floated in the middle. Probably 1000 came through. Joe Hahn and Heidi Woan. The watercolors in the back room are amazing. Michael and Pearl Hsiung Joe To and Rob Sato Harry Kim get your movie done. Dirty Hands is starting soon. Whoa. Jason sports the Jimmy face shirt. See this video. Another watercolor The dressing rooms served as tiny art rooms Matt, Dave, Gary, and Nikki at Norms. We never got a table. That’s her! Junko, Aki, and this dark sketchy dude in the back. Mysterious. No matter what, Taco Bell is always there. Great show David! How do you top it?
