Giant Robot Store and GR2 News

Saw a lot of the Super 7 folks today Brian and Dora and we were at the shop then at their studio. They're great folks, it's all you need to know... But in a few, it's movie time. I think I have three screenings tonite for the Film Fest. It's on now.

As some of you know, I’m a juror at this event. Today is day one. I’m hanging out in the car ride from the airport when “ring” my phone goes off and poof it’s cousin Dan Auto calling me for lunch. We go to a Yucatan spot on Valencia and 15th. The film event was the opening film Finishing the Game by Justin Lin. It made it’s SF premier and opened this film fest. It is one of the twelve films I need to watch. Since I’m a juror, I’ll give no opinions of the film yet. Enjoy the photos. We also went to the after party at the Asian Museum, and then ate Sushi, then went to Jade Bar where there was yet another event. There, I see Justin, Sung Kang, Quinten Lee, Karin Anna Cheung, and many other great folks including festival organizers like Chi-hui Yang, and others. People are friendly when they get a little bit of liquids in them!

It’s in Cabazon… These stand monstrous and you can sort of see them from the freeway, but when you get there you find out a lot. 1) The T Rex is open only on the weekends. For $2 you can go inside to it’s mouth.2) The Bronto has a shop inside. The shop sells no original merchandise. BUT, inside there was religious TV playing and a nice woman watching it. 3) There’s a free pamphlet. Grad that and read the parts that are about dinosaurs which is fine, but then read the parts that are anti evolution! No! We didn’t come from apes! Man is NOT Ape! 4) Now you find out this is entirely a religious “theme park” and it’s two dinosaurs in the middle of the desert. It’s all bizarre. 5) Get some pennies smashed.
