Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Click the pic to see this big enough to read. You may have to click it twice to make it zoom in. George Johnston was one of the first person to write about GR. He could have actually been the first. It’s in the same outlet, the local LA Japanese American paper, The Rafu Shimpo. Quite a nice column, and it’s rad how he started writing about GR, probably at our first issue, and his latest is one of the nicest articles to come out in a while. You won’t get drama or intrigue, and it might not be sexy, but it’s in a nice spirit. The Rafu has been good to us since day one, and George has been there too. We’ve grown up a bit, and I do see him at the local market sometimes, the last, he had a baby carriage. As he got off the phone from interviewing me for this column, he was picking up his kid from pre school.

Stephane Gauger is rolling along with his first feature Owl and the Sparrow. The Spirit Award is for films under 20 million dollars, which hardly sound indie, but oh well. Gauger's film actually is in a special categories for features under $500,000 (how much did it cost in Vietnam?). A good natured guy, I'm sure he's being hit by projects left and right, and he deserves it, his film is amazing.
Hi...
Stephane Gauger is rolling along with his first feature Owl and the Sparrow. The Spirit Award is for films under 20 million dollars, which hardly sound indie, but oh well. Gauger’s film actually is in a special categories for features under $500,000 (how much did it cost in Vietnam?). A good natured guy, I’m sure he’s being hit by projects left and right, and he deserves it, his film is amazing. His nomination was reported in the Hollywood Reporter. I first saw Gauger playing a character in Six String Samurai. He’s come a long way since. He has a small role in The Rebel as well.

Do, or do not. There is no try. Says Yoda and other people who love to quote the troll. I always say, "I tried" or "I'm trying." And people love to give out that Yoda quote. It might be easy when Yoda sits around all day, talks nonsense and has to teach a young Jedi some tricks. That's not hard. He doesn't even have to walk since Luke carried him around like a backpack.

Do, or do not. There is no try. Says Yoda and other people who love to quote the troll. I always say, “I tried” or “I’m trying.” And people love to give out that Yoda quote. It might be easy when Yoda sits around all day, talks nonsense and has to teach a young Jedi some tricks. That’s not hard. He doesn’t even have to walk since Luke carried him around like a backpack. Today someone said, “you’re a do’er.” That’s nice, but to do, I still have to try. And try sometimes, means a lot of things. It means, I’m trying to do more than most people in a day. I’m trying to accomplish a task list that’s 50 items long in a day. I’m trying to work 3 times as fast as the next person. I’m trying to work with people who aren’t on the same page. I’m trying to stay focused. I’m trying to be sane, calm, and cool, when there’s pressure. I’m trying to have a life at the same time as I try to do these other things all at the same time. So fuck yeah, I try everyday. The question is for those who only “do” and do not try. What are you doing that’s so easy?
