Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Imagine, we decided to have a listening party (sort of) for an album that’s 20 years old. No band appearance, although we got the band’s blessing, and we publicized it as much as we could in under a week. For a weekend, we’d play their music all day, and let people shop while they got to listen to one of the more important bands of punk rock history. We decided to have a contest, had prizes provided by the band, and the fans came out to all of the shops. The tattoos are amazing. So many people have them. We took photos and there’s even more to come. I saw the photo above, and it’s an artistic rendition of “Boat on a Hill” from a GRNY shopper – a great song! We’ll add more photos, and do something like again. I proclaim Jawbreaker Weekend – an Annual event at GR. This is sort of like a hug that we needed. For those of you who don’t know who Jawbreaker is/was/is, believe it or not, it’s not too late. Created with flickr slideshow. ——-

Visiting Albert Reyes always leads to cool things. 1) The art in his house is amazing. We've featured that in the magazine before and his studio room of art keeps changing. Original art he got from trades include Matt Furie, Date Farmers, and plenty of others I don't know so well. 2) His brother is Pimplywimp Ryan Reyes. Hilarious videos. He's in his own Youtube videos but he's also in movies....

He’s in his own Youtube videos but he’s also in movies. It’s an alternate way to go to be in the business. Is it the real way of the future? Will there be big stars who will one day say, “I started on Youtube”? The cool thing is, you can say you’re always working, and it’s a good way to practice your craft and get feedback. Want to hire him? You can check out his reel without even asking. See his Crispin Glover imitation. The 6th part is actually going up soon! Here are a couple of links to his videos. They’re definitely on the edge and funny.CrispinFart

See this sign? It looks like something you could buy. But in the end, this was made by my dad. Imagine, he's a semi retired contractor, but he can make just about anything. I know I've written about him before, but he strikes again. The cool thing about doing GR projects is asking him to make something. Check out the rest of these photos. Some of the little details are quite funny.
See the wheel?...
