Giant Hearts for Giant Robot

Those of you who know me pretty well know that I read every issue of Giant Robot with the sort of intensity that I had reserved only for Sassy back in high school. I picked up the new issue yesterday and have just about finished reading every article. That said, I would like to direct PDP readers to the series of interviews with Chinese Jamaicans involved in the development of reggae and dub. As someone who knows jack shit about ska, reggae, dub, et.al., I found the pieces on these producers (Clive Chin, Herman Chin-Loy, Leonard Chin and Jo Jo Hookim, respectively) to be easy-to-follow and incredibly informative. Put this on your suggested reading list.
BTW, the folks in NYC may be interested in knowing that Giant Robot is opening a store in your 'hood one week from Saturday.

Comments:
I am NOT ALLOWED at that store. you remember what happened when I went to the one in LA - I spent half the money I'd saved for san francisco.

but I really want to go. maybe I can get someone to take my wallet from me and escort me out after, say, half an hour. it's the only way. it's for my own good.
 
I've heard good things about gr/eats. Nothing fancy, but from what I understand they're pretty good and vegetarian-friendly. Have you been, Liz?
 
Not yet. Last time I was there was the day before the restaurant opened.
