Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Here’s the pics for the show. It’s pretty rad. It’s going to be great, and it’s everything one can expect. Take a look through the pics, it’s amazing. Takashi Murakami did a talk at the press preview and kept it simple, talked about commerce and the fact that money is important. He also talked about his work, and this being his biggest show… yes it is. Also the cool thing is that he spoke it in English, which is something that he’s been sort of shying away from lately. When I interviewed him way back in 2001ish, he did it in English, then he always worked with a translator. The small MOCA shop was filled with Murakami goods, tons of it. You name it, it’s there. The Louis Vuitton shop? It’s going to bank big time. It’s going to out rock any shop in the area for sure. Especially since it has the special MOCA only LV design. So in the end, who comes out ahead? Where’s this taking art? It’s a pioneering show, and there’s a lot to say about it. But I’m still taking it all in. This has to be his biggest venture yet, and I’m proud of him. Hope I get to catch up with him soon. *Glad I shot pics, they’re not allowing photos anymore.

Blonde Redhead at the Wiltern. Yes, they're a great band - one of the best around. They seem to be getting better while most bands just start to stink after a while. They played most of the songs from 23, and a few older ones as well. Can't go wrong with that.
I didn't like the opener Autolux as much, although they seemed to have their fans.
Yes, I'm a bootlegger. For those of you who couldn't go.

The sky is brown - red, it's from the fires that aren't too close by. We have a filter of crap around us right now. I think it's like this in some parts of the world every day.Not long after I shot the above, the moon was also a weird color.
