Today was the last day of Albie Rock's week-long art/work vacation.
It's been seven days of non-stop eating,
with tattooing, drawing, and screenprinting mixed in only so we didn't rupture our stomachs and send pureed ethnic food seeping through our insides.
Today we ended the feasting at Babani's, the first ever Kurdish restaurant in the United States.
Really, really good.
It's in St Paul, so we made a half day of it over there.
We stopped in the St Paul Cathedral, took pictures and got all weak-kneed at the hot style and fancy art stuff.
Swan lamps?
Then to 7th street,
where we did a little MAN-tiquing.
Into dusty basements and backrooms full of so many things that would look so great in my house.
Then we went to Identity Tattoo, and finished up the week by doing all of the girls shirts in one shot.
Light greyish blue girly shirts, with plum-y purple ink on the front.
There's also the almost same grey/blue shirt color colored eleven on the backside of the shirt.
A bouquet of awesome.
$15 each.
This blog right now brings the post total to two hundred.
Two hundred posts on my blog's almost two year anniversary.
Albie Rock started his almost one year ago to this day while out here in MPLS last time.
And Identity Tattoo turns the big four this Wednesday.
That's a lot of anniversary happenings.
Speaking of numbers,
I will be out east in no time at all.
5 days?
Get ready, Northampton.
Stock up on your sleep now, my Maynard friends.
See you soon.
