Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
I'm at The Palms Hotel for Cinevegas, in Las Vegas, a film festival in the desert. It's already been a long day. I'll get to that, and I'll blog about it. However, the first photo is of the driver. It was an interesting and short ride from the airport in. I couldn't help but overhear the driver. He was a nice guy, but the entire ride he was on his phone, loudly.

I’m at The Palms Hotel for Cinevegas, in Las Vegas, a film festival in the desert. It’s already been a long day. I’ll get to that, and I’ll blog about it. However, the first photo is of the driver. It was an interesting and short ride from the airport in. I couldn’t help but overhear the driver. He was a nice guy, but the entire ride he was on his phone, loudly.

This morning, I let in a video guy from Travel and Leisure magazine and their online site associated with Turner in Atlanta. A simple shoot, they were pro and quick. They needed no lighting. In the July issue there will be something small on Giant Robot mag, stores, restaurant, and so forth. It's in a special pull out section on Los Angeles. The site and Airport CNN, and yet even another channel...
This morning, I let in a video guy from Travel and Leisure magazine and their online site associated with Turner in Atlanta. A simple shoot, they were pro and quick. They needed no lighting. In the July issue there will be something small on Giant Robot mag, stores, restaurant, and so forth. It’s in a special pull out section on Los Angeles. The site and Airport CNN, and yet even another channel will run something short on Giant Robot as well. I heard it’s be 20-30 seconds, which should be cool. I’m glad the writers, producers, and the people that decide this “stuff” put us in. The odd thing is they knew about a lot of random things in LA, that I was oblivious to. That’s what happens in a large city in LA.

Chicken Soup and Tacos Por Favor in Santa Monica. I really wanted the Pozole, and I forgot what it was called. I thought Chicken Soup was the same thing, but no. I ended up getting a tasty soup with plenty of chicken, and a decent broth. I'm not sure if you dig simple chicken soup, but this one wasn't bad at all. It does look like something you can easily make yourself, doesn't it? Maybe it is.
