Giant Robot Store and GR2 News

This building’s side looked amazing. It’s not art, but it does look like it. We were walking around downtown Chicago in the art area, and I wonder how many students must stop and trip out on this. Now that I shot this photo, it’s ready to be tagged, bombed, and added on to. Get to it kids. Eugenia and Emily Wang (the mini heart beat of FAAIM) She looks 12, but no, she is not. Give her a minute and she can code a website or edit down a video. Smoque is a BBQ spot that’s pretty good. This is the brisket. Aside from the tasty everything, I dig the cole slaw. Why is cole slaw so good sometimes? That’s Michael Aki and Eugenia Yuan before their film, Strangers was set to start. Something must have been great on Eugenia’s cell phone. The ceiling of Longman & Eagle. Done by artist Cody Hudson – one of the rad artists in Chicago. It’s been a while, since I heard from him, but he’s definitely working. It’s all pieces of wood. Cody Hudson Art at Longman & Eagle. He’s part owner of this place. The food is quite great. That’s Mirai Itamae san Andy and Goh Nakamura standing in front of Longman & Eagle. This is punk rock. At first I thought it was a leftover tire, from a pillaging of a lone bike. But no, this is how they roll in Chicago. This too is a fixed gear. ——-

The station Vocalo.org put the content of our talk online. It's an interesting station since if you read the FAQ it actually tells you that you can make content, submit it, and they may use it. Maybe something like Current TV. I sort of don't remember the interview too well, since it seemed to fly by, but here it is again online for anyone to hear. It's a real station, but I think a feature like...

That's Tim. We were on Vocalo.org radio which is an NPR show at89.5 Tim Hugh fights the good fight. That should go on the t-shirt bearing FAAIM - the film festival. While others need huge staffs, this fest gets done with the tiniest crew. I'll guess that this has to be one of the indiest film fests in the Nation that's been around for 15 years. This year, it's been looking great.

That’s Tim. We were on Vocalo.org radio which is an NPR show at89.5 Tim Hugh fights the good fight. That should go on the t-shirt bearing FAAIM – the film festival. While others need huge staffs, this fest gets done with the tiniest crew. I’ll guess that this has to be one of the indiest film fests in the Nation that’s been around for 15 years. This year, it’s been looking great. One of the most easy going guys is Goh Nakamura. Give him a venue and he’ll play. In this shot, we’re 43 floors up doing a streaming concert. While people are stressing, Goh can always sit back with his guitar and just play. Most of us can’t do that. We stayed at a spot that overlooked Lake Michigan. It’s almost an ocean view but not quite. Look at the view we had. That’s Goh doing his thing at the radio station.
