Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Yes, I’m a chump for blogging gifts. But it’s post holiday and UPS just threw this over the gate. A Medicom Hundreds toy. It weebles. It comes in a nice crate, and it’s hot for the fans. What can’t they make and do? It’s mind boggling. See more photos below. They’re growing like weeds. A line up? Perhaps. My hands don’t look so nice. I feel like I’m a streethypesite blogger now, but I swear I have more to say. Branded on wood. It’s a mini crate. A Disney collab. Oh my. Weird too. See the ear piercing? Disney? That’s nuts. Why? I have no idea. A bag of stickers. Want one? I don’t smoke, but these will be perfect in the bathroom. Fire starters and Poo smell disguisers. This is a case. I wasn’t sure what for, but you can put a camera in it. It’s a hardsheel type of thing. It’s a tiny bit crooked, maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be. Also that small hard plastic emblem always trips me out. What’s it mean? The pillow. Very nice.

Just finished the Choegal video from the signing on December 23rd in LA. Hope you like it. We have another signing in NYC of the Choegals on January 3rd, 2009! Get there early. We'll have a bit less than we have in LA. Thanks for coming out and supporting Giant Robot, David Choe, and Ningyoushi. I thank them for letting us do all of this.

There’s not a ton of good in Fresno, except thrift stores and Sonic. But the Tower District is their supposed hipster area. It’s sort of that way, but the moment I was there, it looked nice. The theater is quite old and looks great. I couldn’t figure out the films they showed there. What were they? I never heard of them. The Chicken Pie Shop is one of the oldest restaurants around and it’s obvious what they serve best. The shop is old school and probably refinished and remodeled to keep it looking that way. An old school sign on the side. They have weird hours, so keep posted. They close early. Pretty neat, I wonder what that patten on the floor is all about. Leftover linoleum? The building is just cool looking. The prize is the pie. It’s not inexpensive at $4 something and it’s pretty small, but it’s actually really tasty.
