Post It 3 was amazing. Tons of people, tons of Post Its, and I think people were happy. It's rare that you can get through the night and people aren't crazy and mad. But we did alright. Of course you have to wait, but with the $20 Post Its, amazing artists, and a great vibe, it worked out well. A lot of artists showed up too. The Robots.

Post It 3 was amazing. Tons of people, tons of Post Its, and I think people were happy. It’s rare that you can get through the night and people aren’t crazy and mad. But we did alright. Of course you have to wait, but with the $20 Post Its, amazing artists, and a great vibe, it worked out well. A lot of artists showed up too. The Robots. I don’t know who these kids were, but there were actually 4, but these two struck a pose. See the rest of the pics here. These were gone quick. When I complimented Gary, he said, “That’s how I do it.” I dunno about that, Gary. This was a surprise. Kiyoshi wearing a Shari Sakahara sweatshirt. I forgot he even had one. I got one too.

Sometimes, meetings take you to weird places. I had no idea that Century City’s new building right across the Twin Tower, 2000 Avenue of the Stars actually has a huge hole in it. What seems like the architecture style of the second, judging by the CCTV building in China, this is actually fairly cool. Of course being in earthquake world, This building can go very tall.

Either way, the Twin Tower complex in LA, isn’t the spectacle of other cities, but it’s neat for a second. The buildings are still there, and I guess there’s not much you can do them, except work the area around them. When is the last time a packed urban high rise building (not hotel) got demolished on purpose? I’m not talking about World Trade Building 7, but literally a public demo of a gigantic building? No remodels seem possible, so I guess they stand until they can’t anymore. I wonder how long a tall building like this lasts?

New issue of GR. Behind the scenes just a bit: Yes, it's an Obama cover, by David Choe, most of you may have seen his other image, but this is actually a water color that was almost like a study, but sometimes, the studies turn out to be great. This is one of those examples. Upper Playground worked with this image as well, in their huge quest in helping the ascension of Barack Obama as a candidate...
