Fresh Ink...

I went and sat for some ink today with the infamous Shawn Hebrank. After about four hours, we were done. My only regret is that I hadn't sat with Shawn earlier. There's definitely something to be said for a guy who can make you laugh so hard you cry while he's drilling you with a tattoo gun! I'm super stoked on the finished piece! Here're some photos of the process...Oh yeah! Went to the Hartford Crit on Sat. El Bobo raced...came in second in his Jr's race and then hung with the big boys in the Elite Men's race...Adam Meyerson killed it! Check it:


-Peleton


-I think Aidan's in this photo...


-One of the NERAC boys d-ing up on the competition.


-Shawn deep in concentration...


-Finished outline.


-Dropping in the color...telling me some ridiculously funny story, I'm sure...


-The bloody, swollen, finished version...I'll have better photos when the swelling subsides....

T-Town Swap...

Went to T-Town on Sat for the Spring Bike Swap. Had a great time and awesome weather...the swap was standard swap fare...meaning that folks had loads of cash and didn't want to spend it. Saw plenty of crap...a few cool things. Took some photos. Had some bets going about hip-packs so I thought it'd be appropriate to share some photos...


-80's shirt? Check. Dungarees? Check. Hip-Pouch? You better fuck'n believe it.


-Utility belts aren't just for super-heros anymore! They're also for hipster, messenger wannabes. Bathing is out this year too, ditto for laundry....wait a second....is she wearing fucking gaiters??!!!!


-You can kinda see the hip-pouch on this one....you can also kinda see 'Brodie' across the way. Brodie was in the space next to us and he was heavily rep'n everything that is so very wrong with the bike industry today. I think he was pissed that he was missing his frat brother's drunken-sororoity-molesting-barbituate-induced-barbeque. So he made up for it by getting pissed by 9:30 AM, wrestling with his co-workers, and taking a piss in broad daylight in the 1.5' tall bushes behind up. Keep up the good work douchbag!


-Check out the pouch on this fella. It's kinda like a kangaroo or marsupial....radness....king of the pouches. Can't mess...


-It's not a pouch...but when was the last time you've seen a sock for your dreads? Me neither.


-When you're crammed into a 2x4 space for 6 hours on the road, you've got to find creative ways to sleep. Hans, gett'n his snooze on....or vainly trying to end his life because he's had enough hanging out with these dirtbags......

T-Town...

Going to T-Town tomorrow for the annual bike swap...should be a good time. Heading down with Karp and Hans...the last time the 3 of us teamed up, there was non-stop laughing for the whole trip (except when we were eating...too hungry to talk!). Should be a good time. Photos and stories to come soon....Oh yeah! This is pretty late, but congrats to Ken and Dana who now have a beautiful baby girl to add to the mayhem on the homefront!
