Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
I went to the Third Street Promenade tonight. Except for wanting those two hours back since the place blows, it’s definitely recessed. Aren’t Saturday nights at 9pm supposed to be busy? I walked the entire length and around the areas and yes, it’s much less congested. Luckily, I jumped into the Apple store and streamed the Pacquiao fight, and watched just a bit of it, enough to see the end. The worst part is that, there are street performers. Next to the little rocker kid who plays guitar and sings, is a guy who’s preaching about God. It’s an open mic for anyone to debate this person. The problem isn’t the guy, he’s there to fuck with everyone, the part that blew was when he debated a kid who was pro evolution, the God guy said, “God created the heavens and the Earth” the entire crowd of maybe 50+, cheered and whistled. I have an open mind for people who want to debate, but fuck that crowd and fuck 3rd Street Promenade. Why is that guy even preaching there when almost everyone is already converted.

Heath Ceramics has been around since 1948. Part of the mid-century modern lifestyle, this brand has always been a mark of great design and high quality work. Friday was their grand opening at 7525 Beverly. Fairly anticipated, it’s been written about in magazines and newspapers. The space is vast and clean, and is in the perfect area which matches home furnishings and people with hopefully a few extra dollars. For those of you who are on a budget, Heath wear might not be the most affordable, but at the same time, it’s a standard by which a lot of other brands try to match. Heath Smiling with Adam Silverman. I met Adam years ago when he was a co-founder of the X-Large store in Los Angeles. A graduate of RISD in architecture, which he did for a few years, he also worked on ceramics at the same time. He left the clothing industry, and decided to pursue his hobby of pottery. He’d probably classify himself as just starting since his pottery career began in 2002, but his work look masterful. One great fact about Adam’s efforts is that he’s branching the worlds of a generation of “kids” who are into clothing, art, and design with a venerable ceramics brand. We’ll see how this next phase of his career and Heath’s brand steps into a new future. Here’s a sample of Adam’s personal work that’s available at Heath. There’s plenty of it throughout the shop. I like his glaze technique. Who knew he made hanging lights! Geoff Mcfetridge drawing of Adam. Vintage Heath not for sale. Ironically, years ago, I bought a couple of mugs that looked cool and were inexpensive, I had no idea what make or model they were. I looked at them the other day, and lo and behold, they’re by Heath!

Sung Kang at Bloomingdales this Saturday. December 6, 204pm. Jump Shoes. I have no idea what these are. Go to the website, if you check it, it's a video with Sung in it, pretty cool actually in style. The shoes, I don't know if they're for me. Sung is an Asian American actor dude, been in some pictures, and is endorsing this shoe. I think that's a cool thing that he, an indie actor is a pitch man...
