Giant Robot Store and GR2 News

Just like how we opened a year ago, gr/eats is having a promotion. Eat a meal and you get a nice prize right over at gr2. It's been a zoo! Restaurants are tough and I laugh when people tell us to open one elsewhere like in NYC. I just can't do it.

Martin and I are going to be at Harvard GSD. Last time we were there, it was bogus. We were on a panel with a bunch of artists, and the subject of racism came up, then one of the artists stepped up and said they’re too young, they won’t know what racism is all about.

Aya Takano is one of the best Japanese artists. Of course, she’s part of the Superflat, Takashi Murakami clan, so that means, she’s managed tightly. I’ve been a fan for a while and thankfully, she’s one of the nicest persons around. If you’re in Tokyo, you have a little bit of time to check out her show at Parco. It ends 4/24! Parco is one of the coolest places since it’s actually on the top floor of a mall type of building that’s filled with “cool” types of shops. Every exhibit has a store at the end of the show. I once saw a Robocon show years and years ago, so you can imagine the goods there. We got some too! Check it out.
