Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
The guy who’s run Comicon into the ground, Danny Choo has a copy of GR 51. He’s featured in it, and he took this before he started dancing in the street. I’m not sure if you read his blog, but it’s filled with fun pop culture info from Japan. It might be one of the best. It’s a hefty site with a lot going on, and that reflects what it can be like in Tokyo. Danny Choo.com

Mediatation - nice banner. I had to read this over and over to figure out what this all meant. But this is what I saw when I pulled up and walked in. The YBA is a sometimes shrinking bunch, I heard the WLA buddhist temple has none. No members! So if there's let's say one, then they'll go to Venice or something where there's more. I guess next year there will be at least five, so they'll be back....
Mediatation – nice banner. I had to read this over and over to figure out what this all meant. But this is what I saw when I pulled up and walked in. The YBA is a sometimes shrinking bunch, I heard the WLA buddhist temple has none. No members! So if there’s let’s say one, then they’ll go to Venice or something where there’s more. I guess next year there will be at least five, so they’ll be back. The group I spoke to were from all over, some even from Seattle. I like this photo. That’s the McGee cover where I made him draw a Buddha. Ever see Barry McGee draw a Buddha before? I think it was the right time, right place, since he was actually in Tokyo with Margaret Kilgallen, going to hotsprings and such… I know he went to temples as well, and was having a great time. So he ended up making this, and it’s beautiful. The red part on top is stitched to the off white part. I didn’t know he stitched anything at that time, I sort of think it was Margaret’s idea. Hmm. One day I’ll ask Barry this question because I wonder about this whenever I see this work. I think this was during the Q and A part since the light was on. A sea of Asians. I seldom get to speak to an entire Asian group, but this one was that, and I’ll guess the majority was Japanese American, which is maybe more rare. I hope I did a decent job. That’s me looking at issue 1. Does the sumo wrestler sleeping look like Jason? As soon as I said that, to the room, they started laughing. That’s big J on the left. Number 15 is Colt Brennan. On the right is Jimmy Shimomaye. Jimbo, Jim, etc. I didn’t know he dropped the Jimmy, and he’s not just Jim. I blew it when I called him Jimmy. He was the Rubik’s Cube champ at my junior high. 54 seconds. Yes, I still remember.
