Giant Robot Store and GR2 News

Walking by a display area in Chicago, I also ran into a Puma store. What’s so great about Puma these days? Way understated is their artist line with kozyndan. It’s the second season now, and the gear still looks fun and sort of strange. It doesn’t exactly fit with the entire Puma idea, since in the end, this looks like stuff GR should be making. But oh well. This stuff still looks fun and cool. I still don’t know why Amsterdam is so important for this entire line. I guess a location was important. I guess… Do I see a cigarette coming out of an ass crack? The details are nice. That’s sort of like kozyndan’s style.

I still want my green ones from last year! I wore those to death and the slip on factor makes for quick security rushes at the airports. Anyone have a size 9? I like the details. This is actually a funny image even though I don’t get it. This is equally funny. Check out what the shroom is wearing! I even got a bag to go with my shoes. Where am I going to go looking this good?

The Nakamura Trio. I'm Nakamura 1, Tad, 2, and Goh 3. This sounded like a joke, three guys who happen to have the same last name on a panel together, but guess what? It worked. We're spread across different disciplines in a way that's perfectly apart, yet similar in worlds that we actually mesh. We can answer the same questions in different ways, with our own experiences.

The Nakamura Trio. I’m Nakamura 1, Tad, 2, and Goh 3. This sounded like a joke, three guys who happen to have the same last name on a panel together, but guess what? It worked. We’re spread across different disciplines in a way that’s perfectly apart, yet similar in worlds that we actually mesh. We can answer the same questions in different ways, with our own experiences. I realize that Goh is all about being real and holding not too much back. I try and do the same. Tad meanwhile has a strong ethnocentric view without being boring – much like his films. What an interesting poster! I wanted one, and they gave me one, then it disappeared. Hope I can find one, one day. Anyone at Columbia peel one off the wall for me? About 50 or so came out. ASO Asian Student Organization came out in numbers. These dudes make cool zines in Chicago. Zines are the heartbeat of publishing. I know there’s more photos of us with the folks who came through! Ryan Yokota – The World is Yours! He’s in Chicago now. It’s been ages since I’ve seen him. I was kidding around saying Tad is the Asian Tupac. I dunno why that keeps popping into my head. Tad played varsity safety for Culver City high school and was the team captain! We’re now at Mirai after the talk. It’s one of the better spots in Chicago for Sushi. It’s Alice’s birthday! She’s a supporter and friend of the film festival.
