Portland OR - Grass Hut on the 1st of Feb?

I plan on being at the opening at Grass Hut for the new Martin Ontiveros show. Anybody else from the P-town area plan on going? I know the new Ojo is making it's debut there. Show is from 6 to 9 pm.

I also propose we form a local NW group calle NWB's (Newbs - get it?) - North West Brainers to compete with the mighty Cali contingent (LAST was it?). This will combine the powers of Washington and Oregon and form a mighty alliance against the southern show off (and yes I know you all have S7!!).

What do you all say! Hope to see you there!

 

what time is it at? I close at work at 8:00 that night

 

I believe it is 7 but now I am thinking I have the wrong night - it might be Friday the 8th. I am PM ing Bwana as we speak.

 

I actually thought it was the 2nd We shall see....

 

Okay - my mistake - the show is Friday February 1st. It runs from 6 to 9.

 

The 1st! I have a much better chance making it that Friday night. Thanks for the update.

 

NWB 4 Life!
Yeah - I'll be there. Gotta grab an Ojo! Looking forward to Martin's new work - never disappoints!

 

Looks more like I will be able to make this....

 

Cool show! Just back and here are some pics of the customs that were on display as 90% of them were sold out prior to the doors opening (sorry for the crappy pics - my camera phone)!!





Met NT and his wife - very nice people. Sorry I missed you Jo- maybe next time!

 

Damn those look good! I saw Koji and Mark Nagata's version on Vinylpulse and I must say those 2 are my favorites.

And look at the size of the Max Toy Booska!!

 

Cool show. Were the 'standard issue', clear Ojos already up for sale at Grass Hut?

 

There was a limited amount available for sale at the show to walk ins - if there is any left at the end of tonight - they will be put up for sale on Grass Hut - this is per Bwana. There was like maybe 8 or so left when I was leaving.

 

damn those customs ROCK (in a fantasy kinda way)

 

I just heard there were 8 left with 31 people on the wait list

Martins custom painted Ojo Rojo looks insane and I am very VERY jealous of whoever it is that was lucky enough to get it

 

Yeah, the Mark Nagata one is excellent!



I was very happy to pick up one of Bwana's Customs!

 

WHAT? when did you show up? I was there from 6:45 till 8:00! Didnt see NT either Bwana was friendly as always. Wonderful stuff, i missed the Le merde Ojo It came with the sk8 and sketch... Well well, maybe another time...

for people on the wait list, I didnt buy one for one of you that really really want it. No trade flippin' from me Good luck list folk...

 

List??? Wish I had thought about pre-groveling. R e a l l y want that clear Ojo.

 

Looked like an awesome show.
I do hope my hookup came through.

 

maybe we can meet at the "Balls Out" show next month at BH.

 

fuck me. i wanna stab my eye out.

these are awesome.

 

I got an Ojo and this piece:



The Ojo sculpt is just amazing. I can't wait for more colorways for this one. GID please!

 

yuck your image is n't showin


i got a painting and a super sick custom also!

 

Shit those HP Ojo's are AMAZING! All of them! Can't wait to see what this figure has in it's future for us "common" folk.

 

Funny thing about that - it appears the "common folk" on the Grass Hut Preorder list got first stab at the customs and painting bewfore the locals did and most if not all the offordable pieces were sold before the doors opened. On the other hand - the "locals" (don't surf on my beach!) got first crack at the clear Ojo's. So I guess it turned out to be semi fair for all.

Martins HP was my fave - Ojo Stardust (last picture all the way to the left).

Jo - I left about 6:40 - I had to get home to the pups! Sorry I missed you. Maybe NWB's can meet at the next Grass Hut show soon!

 

Nice meetin ya, Mark! We left right after you - musta just missed you Joe. Didn't see Martin - did he ever make it?
I think the Naoya (metallic blue/green/gold) was my favorite of the bunch. Looks like the blue and green were painted on the inside, with the silver/gold and black detail lines on the outside. Very nice looking!
Awesome paintings as always - nice work, Martin! (Did you ever make it to your opening?)
The Booska is huge! Sounds like they're hoping to get the first one released this summer.
Hopefully some of you will be able to pick up an Ojo - the numbers were indeed slim after the first half-hour of the opening.
