Giant Robot Store and GR2 News

A big pack of folks came through the Incidental Nature exhibition at GR2 on saturday. It’s been a little while since Robert Bellm has been to LA, he said 5 years, so his friends from Art Center came through, and bunch of others just to say congrats, and welcome back. One visitor even flew in from SF just to be there, meet Rob, and that’s awesome people will do that. I think he bought a handful of pieces. PCP couldn’t be here, and was missed. He’s a new dad, that’s how it goes. kozydan, well, they’re So Cal folks and they have a lot of friends, tons. They all came out, and I know they deserve the smiles they get from the people they make happy. That’s Robert Bellm in the middle. I think he had a good night. Like I said, he hasn’t been to LA in a while, so this was sort of like his homecoming. Jean Aw from Notcot. My hero. Michelle Borok who’ll you see blogging soon on the front page and Buff Monster, who’ll be showing at GRNY soon. Buff’s been great lately. I don’t know about the stash… I do wonder if this is the start of dirty sanchez. This was insane and a testament to their fans. Bunnyfish cookies? Amazing, and against the grain! Cookies make people happy and if you weren’t around, you would have missed out. This was a paparazzi moment. Cameras came out in force at this moment. A tattoo of bunnyfish. Neat clothing tag. She also has a Choe whale. Dan was hungry and this was some weird pasta. Glad I caught this moment, I doubt anyone else saw it. Dj Frosty from dublab… see kozy in the background eating. I’m pretty good at catching people at their worst. It was a good night, felt like old times. I hope that was the look that Michelle gave me when it was totally packed. If it was, then I know we were in the same place.

Favre lost today, but had a stunning year. I’m assuming he’s going to be back to do the Green Bay thing one more time. How did he just come back from being so bad? Anyway, that’s Albert Reyes in the photo. He might not be Favre with the football, but he routed for Favre, since he’s the last of the old schoolers still in the game. He doesn’t like Tom Brady, since he said that when Brady was in high school, he’d get mad at a teammate and drill them in the head with the football. Since Eli Manning’s team, the Giants beat Favre’s Green Bay and will now face Tom Brady, maybe Eli will serve up revenge for his older brother Peyton who lost in the first round of the playoffs… That’s what Albert said anyway.

In the mail came these. Interesting configuration and style. They're rugged and athletic. They look from the turn of the century, yet with new features.
It has a feel of newer Clark's type shoes. Sort of bootish but not, a little more sporty than in the 70s, and there you have it. A modern classic. When would I wear them in the question. I almost feel like it's for travel, when you'd take just one...
