After seeing these plastered all over the Westside yesterday I decided I better get one before they're all ganked. Farilla and I attempted a mission last night but said mission was trumped by LOST. Fortunately my morning adventure was a complete success...
Thanks to my multi-tool I was able to reach this beauty (which was stapled to the above telephone pole)...
This poster will compliment my growing Choegal collection nicely, don't you think?
Dave Choe (bad ass artist and creator of my beloved Choegal) will be up in SF screening his documentary next month. If you're in the hood this is not to be missed!
I skipped Dave's signing at GR2 last month because I don't do cold well. I had a feeling there would be a crazy line and as it turns out I was right. Instead, I planned on being up in SF later that week so I figured I'd just swing by GRSF. Unfortunately when I got there I was told that Dave's Choegal "was just an LA thing". Completely bummed. The Choegal is limited to 1,000 so I was worried that they'd sell out before I could get my hands on one. As soon as I got back to LA I made it a priority to go by the gallery. Success! Actually DOUBLE SUCCESS... when I got her home I found that she had indeed been signed! w00t! Thanks Dave! I couldn't be more stoked!
In case you missed it here's a little vid from the signing...
While I was avoiding standing out in the cold the lovely Ms. Lauren braved both the elements AND the crowd by standing in line for 2 HOURS! Yep, that's what I call dedication. Imagine my surprise then I open up B&L's xmas gift and found this. I seriously gasped when I unwrapped my very own signed copy of GR 57 featuring Dave's Obama cover! Thanks L & B!!! You couldn't have gifted this girl a better present! Slam dunk!
You can read more about Choegal here...or maybe even get your very own!
