the tron popup shop in culver city is an exclusive couture shop selling tron and tron legacy licensed merchandise. the cafe also sells tron-labelled food such as lightcycle salads and recog(recognizer) burgers. by chance, i happened to be in the area the night before and noticed people checking in via foursquare already. i was aware that the grand opening was happening the following day, so i made my way there. fans and autograph collectors were there with a bunch of tron legacy stuff in hand. after asking around i discovered there was a private party where notable guests who worked on the movie might appear. joseph kosinski, olivia wilde, beau garret, james frain, anis chuerfa and eddie kitsis (one of the writers) were spotted: http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackfeathers/sets/72157625296974679/ the following day i took tons of photos of the store and merchandise. i also met obishawn and his amazing star wars h-wing car. all of this can be found in my photo set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackfeathers/sets/72157625301840133/ other tidbits: -i spotted a few flynn lives a.r.g. players as well. -with purchase for a limited time, you might be able to receive a tron royal/t coaster and poster. -the art of tron book is being sold there at retail price if you want it now, but pre-ordering it online will save you a significant amount. -no word (yet) on the pdp ipad, phone cases, or the tron legacy flynn light cycle usb drive. i was told it might be a japan exclusive despite it being displayed on the disney website. while i filmed some video of the night and the grand opening day, i still have to edit and process it before i can share the experience.
