Plaseebo happenings in New York

Bob Conge aka Plaseebo has NYC on lockdown this weekend. On the left is a custom for the GUUMON Show at ZAKKA, opening October 9th. The backpack on this guy doubles as a switch for the color-changing LED's inside... how cool is that! It looks so different with the lights on, it's like getting two customs at once. On the right is a teaser and sketch of the painted prototype for "The Brain Rider", which will be on display Friday and Saturday in the Cultyard booth #2682 at NYCC. Definitely can't wait for more pictures of this. And here is a little story, titled "JB and The Brain Rider" by Bob Conge.

"One day not too long ago, the Jumping Brain ( affectionately known to his friends as "JB" ) came across a poster for THE FIRST ANNUAL BODY PARTS RODEO to be held Barcelona in the summer of 2011. JB was stoked!, as he had always been infatuated with old cowboy movies and rodeos. He knew immediately he wanted to compete in the Bull Riding contest......... as the Bull of course. JB was after all part Bullfrog.

JB began tryouts to find a rider, day after day, rider after rider, no one could hang on for even one second to his slippery gyrations. JB was about to call it quits, when one afternoon at the beach, he met a Skulloctopus from the states who was vacationing in Spain. Being comfortable on slippery surfaces and with eight legs to hang on with, it was a perfect partnership. For sure they would dazzle the audience at the First Annual B P Rodeo. And so they did."
