Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Imagine, we decided to have a listening party (sort of) for an album that's 20 years old. No band appearance, although we got the band's blessing, and we publicized it as much as we could in under a week. For a weekend, we'd play their music all day, and let people shop while they got to listen to one of the more important bands of punk rock history. We decided to have a contest, had prizes...
Imagine, we decided to have a listening party (sort of) for an album that’s 20 years old. No band appearance, although we got the band’s blessing, and we publicized it as much as we could in under a week. For a weekend, we’d play their music all day, and let people shop while they got to listen to one of the more important bands of punk rock history. We decided to have a contest, had prizes provided by the band, and the fans came out to all of the shops. The tattoos are amazing. So many people have them. We took photos and there’s even more to come. I saw the photo above, and it’s an artistic rendition of “Boat on a Hill” from a GRNY shopper – a great song! We’ll add more photos, and do something like again. I proclaim Jawbreaker Weekend – an Annual event at GR. This is sort of like a hug that we needed. For those of you who don’t know who Jawbreaker is/was/is, believe it or not, it’s not too late. Created with flickr slideshow.

See this sign? It looks like something you could buy. But in the end, this was made by my dad. Imagine, he's a semi retired contractor, but he can make just about anything. I know I've written about him before, but he strikes again. The cool thing about doing GR projects is asking him to make something. Check out the rest of these photos. Some of the little details are quite funny.
See the wheel?...

Some of the little details are quite funny. See the wheel? When I saw the sign, I wondered why is there a wheel there?! I didn’t ask for a skateboard. I got the vinyl letters and put them on using a few credit cards to press them on. I was trying to get them on just right. Even the text was a collaboration by myself and Martin. It sort of tells it all. Where burgers, tacos, and udon meet. Healthy and fresh foods. That’s me lining up the vinyl lettering. Measure twice, cut once. Oh and see that leather handle? It’s a piece of one of my dad’s old belts! He cut up a belt to make a handle! wtf?! The bungee cord is so we can secure it on around a pole! That’s what the wheels are all about! You can fold this and roll it, so even the weakest weakling can move this around.

Myself and Saelee Oh are on Vimeo talking about our Scion animation project. I guess there's not much more to say than what the title says. It just played in Wichita, Kansas. I don't know anyone in Kansas, but it's cool to have a project that flies around when you're sitting at home. I think there's another stop or two. One will be in Brooklyn, and I'll get to go to that one. It's in June! Not...
