Giant Robot Store and GR2 News

The Scion Show Insiders Outsiders and the Middle is tonight. Here's some shots from yesterday. You can scroll through the Flickr photos.

Make lemonade. Next, maybe they’ll sell bags of lemons and packets of sugar in a nice bag too. The sad thing is that if they were to do this too often, they’d get shut down.

1) That's us in gear at the booth. Standing behind a counter most of the day, you get to take pics from the place where everyone is looking. The booth looked great.
