If you saw David Choe on Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown, you may remember that the most kick-ass portion of the show was when they visit Choe’s parents.   Now his mom, Jane Choe, is having a show alongside Critter at Fifty24SF (218 Fillmore, SF).  I think we may have to leave our hermit’s cave this Saturday, as this is one of those shows you just don’t want to miss…

And check it: This Sunday, July 17th, from 2PM on, David Choe and Harry Kim will be signing copies of the DVD at FIFTY24SF Gallery in San Francisco (copies of the DVD will be for sale).

A Set of all 12 Munkos, Dry Hump Pillow, Hairdo Tee (L), Chinese Tee (L), & Hell Houndz Tee (L)

If you are not yet familiar VBS.tv and artist, inveterate gambler, and lifelong “rider of the rails” David Choe hooked up to document as he hitchhikes his way across these United States by (other people’s) trains, cars, and boats. As some of you may have noticed, Season 3 of the “Thumbs Up” series premiered just the other week over at VBS.tv! A new episode is posted up every week. Go check it out!

Pics from the opening are all over the web, but Viviane took some nice close ups showing the detail…
