Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 Food Fight!

OMG I would have blogged it earlier, but I just found out today people.

A Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 Food Fight!

From the Capcom Unity Post:

We will have the game to play, food to eat and an insane food truck battle featuring some of LA's finest new chefs including Chef Ludo and Chef Eric Greenspan.  Creating dishes inspired by our Marvel and Capcom characters in the game, this is an event that you LA Locals dont want to miss

Sounds like a fun strange Capcom event. A food battle, who came up with this. Also who they Hell are those Chefs they mentioned? Who cares? Eats and Marvel Vs Capcom 3 before anyone else, you have to be there

Back Again, Little Tokyo/ Giant Robot Yard Sale

Hey Readers,

Your editor Jonathan Bilski here. Just to say I'm trying to get a better schedule for the blog. Monday or Tuesday will have me posting on a event or place a reporter or I attended. Wednesday is still the day I give my weekly things to do. Thursdays are for reviews. I'm trying to review more entertainment like video games, movies to rent and download, anime and comics. The weekend, as long as I find stuff, will be Obligatory Star Wars or Zombie Post.

 I headed back to Sawtelle and Little Tokyo this weekend. I went to the local Supermarkets and shops where Engrish shined through. Here's some that I found.

Dat Ass!

What kind of Private Time?

Anyway I went to the Giant Robot Yard Sale on Black Friday. Eric Nakumura owner of the stores and magazine was in attendance selling dvd's for two bucks, four cds for a dollar, shirts for two bucks and a bunch of other toys for hardly anything.  I got Legend of The Drunken Master on Blu-ray for two bucks. It was fun just looking a huge assortment of anime dvds and strange movie to find something you might really like. This year seemed to be a much nicer crowd. Some of this stuff can go for so much, but it cost virtually nothing this weekend. Look for deals this Cyber Monday, but they'll hardly be as good as the ones you'd find at the Giant Robot Yard Sale.

I'll have new stores I visted on Friday, till next time dear readers.

Homeless Kills Old Lady In Little Tokyo

Weird news, when I visited Little Tokyo last weekend a homeless person shoved a old woman onto the gold line tracks. The frail old lady Betty Sugiyama cracked open her skull on the gold line tracks at the Little Tokyo Station and died shortly after. Her elderly sister was right next to her and witnessed the horror as the now identified crazy homeless lady Jackkqueline Pogue delibritely pushed her on the tracks for no reason. Stranger thing is the crazy woman dressed in all black than sat back down as though nothing had happened. Apparently she was released from a hospital and was heavily medicated.

Crazy homeless murderer Pogue was arrested and is being held for a million dollars bail.

That must have just been weird to see if you were just minding your own business and you watched someone get murdered. In the different articles I've read so far I haven't heard any reports from witnesses other than the deasesed's sister. I haven't heard of anything close to that happeing in Little Tokyo other than people being hit by the actual shuttle, which happend a bit when it first opened. I guess the police should crack down on homeless.

So Analog Show: 10-DOH debuts

 So Nate Mitchell deiced over a year ago to make a vinyl figure that looked like an old school game cartridge, the results pretty sweet My favorite highlight of Designercon other than some great Peruvian food at Chozo Mama was the So Analog Show. The So Analog Show was on one side of the Squid Kids Inc booth. This was my favorite part of the expo.

 Nate Mitchell came up with both the Squidz seen above and around at different cons and festivals and the new 10-do figure. Don't hold your breath on getting one. Right now only 35 figures were made for D-con and unless a deal is struck you might not seem them anywhere, but here. Hopefully, they get picked up cause there great to look at it.

Different games were made fun of, chainsaws and magic staff were given to differing 10-dohs. I just wish they had even more artist contribute. It was fun to see the slight alterations from figure to figure.

 A-drive and b-side were also available.

Tracey Tubera showed off his piece in person.

Love the back.

Lastly my favorite piece by Andrew Wilson

Mr. Wilson ... oh wait that's funny. Nate Mitchell= Dennis Mitchell aka Dennis the Menace. Andrew Wilson = Mr. Wilson
 
I hope they have banter out of this. Anyway I love this piece, it's raccoon tail and "the cake is a lie sticker" cement my love of it.
 

Mr. Wilson's blog has some better views of Princess Peach on the front as well some gif images of his piece.
