Screw the frozen faux Bigfoot! (Hoaxer's "apology" here at Cryptomundo.) Our pals at Gama-Go and fine artisans Ningyoushi are creating a no-holds-barred Big Yeti designer toy. Over at Vinyl Pulse, Gama-Go's Greg Long is doing a guest series of posts documenting the development. The first post is up today. From Vinyl Pulse:
The fries are really good at Custom Burger on 6th Street, but the fucking beer – Corona – is $6. That's just unconscionable. I make my way over to the table where Chris, Omar and Denise are sitting.
"This fucking beer was $6"
Nods all around. I sit down. Chris commiserates about the cost of beer in swanky-gentrifying-burger-spots and we all do a little bitching while munching on the sea-salty fries.
It's an odd feeling eating fancy fries and talking toys while watching the everyday mélange of disgusting San Francisco 6th street hobo antics occurring right out the window. Junkies, shit-stirrers, crotchety geezers, mean-ass SOMA regulars clucking and scrapping for turf.
It's like I'm submersed in a deep-sea bathysphere peering out at a nasty and hostile terrain.
I take a swig of beer.
"Ok, right. Toys."
