Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Hanging out with this dude is always an honor. Who's done as much for art as this guy has recently? Too much to do, so I can't get into it, but he's a character, and his offices here and there, and so forth are just impressive. How does he do it?

For those of you who care, I got the Ricoh GR. Basically, I was torn between the GR and the Lumix LX2, but the problem with the lx2 is that the camera isn’t really a 28mm wide angle.

Went to Geisai today and did my duties of being a scout judge. Tons of folks there doing the art thing. It’s like a convention for artists. I walked through the whole thing twice, then went back to some booths a third time, interviewed, got interviewed, made a speech, voted, tried hard to be fair, ate lunch, took pics, walked 10 miles, and so on. It was a long as day that began before 6am. Tomorrow, will be more walking and checking stuff out. I really need to come to Japan more and see Mr Fujiwara. He’s a nice dude.
