The shirts for the Philly Tattoo Convention are done, thanks to some serious help from Ryan and Rebecca today. They feature an upside-down owl on them, with a banner reading (right side up): "dead birds are sexy"
Here's a little sneak peek of Rebecca wearing one in this VERY candid photo. (the guys version is a darker brown shirt, with mustard yellow ink)
I pack them up tonight, and ship them off to the East Coast tomorrow. I'm not sure if there will be any left after the show, so if you want one, I hope you'll be there.
Louderhorn Inn was full of food and laughing these last couple days. Megan and Joan came out to Minneapolis to hang out, get tattooed, and overeat. They were only here for 50ish hours, so we just crammed it all in. No kidding. We hit Hard Times, Seward Cafe, Evergreen, Triple Rock, and Mayday. And Meryl cooked an awesome meal somewhere in there as well.
No tour of Minneapolis is complete without a trip to Ryan and Rebecca's Garages of Oddities in NE, where there's lots of taxidermy, bicycles, and craigslist scores. Here's their latest find, a 1950's Exercycle. It plugs in, and you have little control after that. East coasters getting their laugh on:
Joan loves birds, but just didn't know she loved dead birds as well. (now she's converted) Here's her new (not dead) goldfinch.
Thanksgiving is right around the corner. I'm certainly thankful that I know lots of awesome folks, and that so many of them take the efforts to come visit us out here. We're flattered that everyone has made Minnesota a destination (especially in late November!)
