BE COOL, GO GREEN.   guess what those 3 crates contain!  o shi- KRUSTYLAND?!  yeap, definitely Krustyland.  tsk so typical.  time for our U-Studio VIP Tour! sadly not in the Mystery Machine.  THIS BE A SIGN.  the awesomely cool blue VIP tram.  trampling around on a set of the LAPD.  random cars from random films.          familiar much? this was from King Kong, and how they filmed that whole boat crashing into island thing was done using a miniature. D8  Honey Now We Can Do Human Grocery Shopping  we were given entry into the huuuuge Prop Department. no the above picture isn't a prop, it's a Box of Rags. serious.  damn dont you just love velociraptors.  the weapons department. woot.   a Claire dummy used for some scenes in Heroes.    DOOOOOOOOOM.       3 guesses which film this appeared in! i could guess, for who know why.  JAWSSSSSSSSSSSSS OMNYOMNYOMNYOM.  welcome to Wisteria Lane, Desperate Housewives.     the Bates Motel from Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho.  that was one freaky movie.  random set for some destruction crash site.  they actually destroyed a real 747 for this. D8   JURASSIC PARK RIDE!!!  Attack of Spastic Sqaurepants.  the gais made a beeline for this.  next stop, LA County Museum of Art. random badger pop-ups alert!            i have this bench at home!  drove past Koreantown. much bigger than Little Tokyo for sure. serious bizness now, here we go Siggraph!  cool Save Earth ads. well they were cool to me.  meet Quasi. he's got 8 dads, 5 moms, and a sister who's gunna be at Siggraph Asia. freaky little robot who can see and talk, and hangs out at the Geek Bar. no i'm not making that name up. there IS a Geek Bar.  i-i-i-i feel important!  The Original Pantry Cafe. food here is awesome, but oh gawttttt the calories.  oh, the irony.  bangs head on wall. head gets stuck in wall. gg. from hereon be Siggraph exhibition photos. i'll let them speak for themselves.              after and sometimes before the conference, we'd go to all the places we wanted to go. we as in, not with the group. *cough* Old Pasadena, Farmers Market, The Americana at Brand.. etc. yeah, shoppangggg time!  limo time! stop leeching the booze, damn it.  limo girlsssss  Morris the limousine chauffeur!  aaaand that's all folks. for pictures, that is. i got kinda lazy to take shots of the shopping areas, but they were very very lovely places. especially The Americana at Brand. too bad Singapore's too space-restricted. people over there and here are also very different. and i'm not talking about physical attributes. 'service with a smile', i keep thinking of this line everytime i walk into a shop/restaurant. no matter what, they're always cheery, mebbe cuz of the tipping practice there, but still. i mean, we've got service charge, but what service do we get charged for? ok i shan't start ranting. it was a real eye-opener, this trip. but i feel that we're all pretty underage to be attending a conference like Siggraph. i think we were probably the youngest people there, and half the talks were superrrrr technical. D8 well what matters is that we all learnt something right? at least, i think we did.. |
