Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
After Louie Cordero's art show last night, which you should all see, we ate, then went to Kwik E mart in Venice. It's already my third trip or so there, and no Buzz cola... But they did say that today they'd have some. I got there and sure enough, they had 'em.
I bought 18 cans, and am trying to share the love.

[nggallery id=86] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Group Art Show Opening Future Fictions, July 21, 2007 – August 15, 2007 Reception: Saturday, July 21, 6:30 pm – 10:00 pm Giant Robot Gallery 437 East 9th Street Between 1st Ave. & Ave. A, in the East Village New York, New York 10009 (212) 674-GRNY (4769) / grny.net Giant Robot is proud to present Future Fictions, a group show featuring original art by Melinda Beck, Katherine Guillen, Ethan Hayes-Chute, James Kirkpatrick, and Kathleen Lolley at GRNY. Melinda Beck is a Brooklyn-based illustrator and graphic designer whose playful, blocky paintings hint at mod and sculptural influences. Her work has been commissioned by Nike, The New York Times, and ID Magazine. Katherine Guillen’s translucent-but-dark hues depict subjects such as manual labor and bullies, as well as floods and other forms of nature in an unflinching, subtly humorous manner. Ethan Hayes-Chute paints colorful, spacious, otherwordly landscapes, makes 3D pieces, and self-publishes art and comic books. In 2005, he relocated from New England to Berlin. James “Thesis” Kirkpatrick transfers the spirit of his trainyard-based character-driven art onto gallery walls by scratching into and carving up built-up layers of paper and acrylic paint. Kathleen Lolley is a Kentucky-based artist, animator, and comic-book maker whose two-dimensional characters painted on old parchment paper suggest a fanciful but complex narrative. A reception for the artists will be held from 6:30 to 10:00 on Saturday, July 21. For more information about the show, the artists, GRNY, or Giant Robot magazine, please contact GRNY at 212-674-4769 or grny@giantrobot.com.

Women’s softball. It’s neat to watch since I play slow pitch softball, but it’s really pathetic how bad the umpires are. Are they on the pay off too like the NBA? These guys or I mean gals, they suck just like in our games. What’s up with the power tripping? You give some people power, and they just get drunk with it. That’s just how life works I get, and it’s a typical thing that happens everywhere especially in softball.

Went through some old photos in my iphoto albums. Here are a few from a couple of movie sets. I drag this big digital SLR camera around with me when I’m shooting a movie and I take it out whenever I remember. I’m usually better about it when we go out on location.Went to the Golden Triangle in Northern Thailand to film some scenes for The Protege. Rooftop in Kowloon. The ProtegeInterior set. The Protege.
