Hello, and welcome to Kwik-E-Mart! at Daniel Spisak on Technology

Last night on the way home from Culver City down back home I had to stop and take photos of what was causing a ridiculous amount of traffic at Sepulveda and Venice. Turns out that the 7-11 store that was at the corner there was one of the 12 selected to be converted into a “Kwik-E-Mart” convenience store as part of the marketing push for The Simpsons movie coming out on July 27th.

Overall it was pretty badass, you could buy a copy of Issue #1 of Radioactive Man comic books, Krusty-O’s cereal, Buzz Cola, and get “Squishee’s”. Sadly, there was no Duff Beer since the movie is only rated PG-13 and the movie execs apparently didn’t want to associate beer with the movie which is understandable. I took these photos around 9:30PM on a Sunday night and as you can see, the store was packed. It was bananas!
