It’s worth noting (especially for my friends who like to show up and call me when they hit they airport) that Fish’s weekend slots are booked out at least a month. Of course I could have gotten in sooner if I could get down there by 4pm on a week day, but I can’t really.
Also super-exciting: Fish is working on a line of tough and sexy men’s wear.
Your Superchunk video for the week: Mower
Is it just me, or is Straight Edge making some sort of comeback?
Marisa’s calendar check seems appropriate.
First, a pointer for y’all to check out Inked Inc., a Ning-powered social site for “counterculture professionals”.
The site is very young at this point, so it’s been kind of fun so far. The biggest thing working for the site so far has been the participation of Marisa from Needled. She’s the coolest.
PSA over, I’ll just mention that I’ve started blogging about my next tattoo there.
The Next One
A week from today I have a consultation with my artist, Fish at Th’Ink Tank Tattoos in Denver, about my next tattoo. So, what am I going to get? Well, it kind of depends…
I’ll keep cross-posting links here, so no worries.
Last night the Wife and I took in Children of Men (via Amazon Unbox, no less — pretty sweet). I loved it big time, but then I’m a sucker for distopian visions of the near future.
My favorite part is when everyone stops fighting when they see the first new born in 18 years, letting the protagonists carry the baby through an urban war zone unmolested… And then suddenly someone fires a rocket and everything picks right back up. That scene right there is is one of the most pointed and concise commentaries on the human condition I’ve seen in a while.
Speaking of distopia and commentaries on the human condition, our friends at I Watch Stuff had a run of tidbits (two) regarding my favorite sub-genre: Skinhead movies!
First, we have Kevin Bacon going to war against an overblown “skinhead” gang in Death Sentence. It looks absolutely ridiculous (it’s directed by the Saw guy…), but at the same time AWESOME.
Next we have This Is England about a young lad falling into the British skinhead family in the ’80s. Looks effing fantastic (to me).
The motorcycle gods are conspiring against me this summer.
My social calendar has been packed (for me) lately, and the combination of that with a) trying to get back in shape and b) fairly regular afternoon thunderstorms (or at least the threat thereof), and c) projects around the house has kept me off my Bonneville for the most part. I’ve only had the poor thing out twice this year and that was in the Spring.
I’m not too worried, though. I’ll get my chances eventually. Plus, I much prefer riding in the transition seasons than in the blast furnace that is Summer in the Denver metro.
In other news, I’m going in to talk to Fish about my next tattoo in a couple weeks.
