Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Every year I post the same pic, nearly. Donutman in Glendora. Yes, they rock the strawberry donut. This time, I put the red colorful and tasty donut at the end. Instead I’ll show a pic of the guys making the donuts. See the round rings? Yes, those are going to be good. While we sleep, there’s someone there making more donuts. It’s to good to know that there are people working while some of us are not. The long ones are called Tigertails. Not typical of any shop, this is a favorite here. I’d suggest it. The sugar donut, which was once my favorite fell off the rack. I think I liked the crunch of the sugar. It’s all of it’s glory, this is a great tasting donut.

I stopped in today since I had a meeting really close by and shot another 40 shots of just the art. Take a look at the figures by Goodsmile. GR will be handling those come July! We're excited to be a part of this. It's something great to look forward to. Meanwhile, do check out the Choe show in person. If you can't, then thumb through the images. These are a pretty good collection of what's there....

Famicom. Family computer. You’d think you could find this everywhere, but it’s really not that easy. It’s pretty, red and offwhite and the Japanese carts fit right in. The carts are similar to the NES but it’s not the same. You need a converter, which it turns out is hard to find. There’s so many little hacks for it, but in the end, it’s best just to have the system. I’m playing a game called Super Chinese. It’s pretty fun. I’ll be exploring the rest of the games I picked up in Japan! Some carts are a $1. Some are $25! The camera strap from Camera People. “Kame P” It’s a small shop in Gakugei Daigaku. I didn’t shoot these pics since shooting my own Camera strap on my camera is tough to shoot. But this is straight from their site. Here’s their links. They even process film and print it. It’s sort of the ultimate camera hobby shop and they even have a small gallery above. The leather straps are my favorite. http://camerapeople.jp/ http://www.monogram.co.jp/ http://camepstore.com/?pid=13178443 While I check out this stuff, I have two cats sitting nearby. Here’s what they do once in a while. Groom each other! On the flight back from Japan, I shot a pic out of the window of LA. The red dot is literally my house. Below it’s zoomed just a bit. It’s amazing how much you can really make out of a window of a plane. ——-
