Body Alterations: Tattoos, no piercings. Both arms sleeved. Most of my work is from JonZig in Austin, TX. My most recent was done by Matt Rousseau and some of the other fine folks at Your Flesh Tattoo here in Durango, such as Nic Montgomery, Roger Seliner, Doug Patrum, and Corey Crowley. My right arm has a bunch of Sailor Jerry inspired pin-up girls done in a horror style, a tribute to my daughter, a skull inside a star above my elbow, and some other little bits. My left arm from the elbow down is my take on nautical themes. I have the "homeward bound" type ship, but it's being pulled under by a giant octopus monster and on the other side is an anchor in the dirt for my "landlocked sailor" theme. Above the elbow is a graveyard scene, a "bomb's away", my mom tribute, and a sacred heart of Texas. I also have a bad luck chestpiece and my edge tattoo on my left leg. Work in progress includes the Frankenstein leg piece on my right thigh/knee, bagpipes on my right shoulder, and a tribute to some hometown bands that have shaped me on my right shin. Lots more planned to come.
Favorite Bands: I'm really into music, always have been, always will be. I love Old School Punk, Oi, Hard Core, Rockabilly & Psychobilly, Old Country and a lot more.

Aaaaaaaannnndddd breathe.....
 So the store has now been open in our new location for three days. We still have a few unfinished areas to work on, but the mega-overload is basically over. To put that another way, when I clocked out today I had about twenty minutes over one hundred and two hours for this pay period. And that's only for one of my two jobs. 

Speaking of my other job, I went to work there this afternoon and was told all about how there had been a power outage for a couple of hours earlier in the day that had affected our side of the street for about four or five blocks. Not real easy for a tattoo shop to do much business without electricity. The weather has been crazy here today, so no real surprise there. Anyway, I get about halfway done with my workload for the evening and out goes the power again. Guess who gets to go back in tomorrow, the first of two days off in a row that I've been waiting for.....yeah, that wasn't too difficult, was it?

In other news, I finally got my right leg worked on again. I've been waiting about a year for this particular artist to get his shit together and work with me on this. This is the same guy who did the Frankie face on my thigh and we're continuing with the theme by putting a Bride of Frankenstein in the style of a Gil Elvgren pin-up down the outside of my lower leg, from knee to ankle. The first session was three hours and he did the outline and the vast majority of the shading. This doesn't really seem like a particularly painful area in general, but considering the fact that I had a sinus infection and felt like shit, it was a bitch. Had I not been waiting this long for this to get started I probably would have rescheduled, but I just bit the fuckin' bullet and got through it. I'm super stoked on it and would love to flash a picture up here, but that is an amazingly difficult part of the body to photograph on your own. 

In even more other news, I got my plane tickets to go down to Austin next month. I'm going for a week to visit friends and family as well as to attend the third Fun Fun Fun Fest. There's an absolutely amazing line-up this year and they've expanded yet again. The first year was incredible, they had three stages playing three very different types of music for a full day. The highlight for me was that Negative Approach played their second ever reunion show in 25 years there. Circle Jerks and Electric Frankenstein were also high points. Last year they expanded to two full days, still on three stages with three different types of music. The high points (for me) were Poison Idea and a Murder City Devils reunion, among other things. This year there will be four stages and the one that most interests me will have Bad Brains, Cro-Mags, The Adolescents, All, Dead Milkmen, DOA, The Cute Lepers, Born To Lose, Municipal Waste, and a slew of others. Needless to say, the overtime I've been putting in lately will be paying off quite nicely next month.
Mood: relieved
Music: Steve Earle with The Pogues playing Johnny Come Lately

We were supposed to see the Circle Jerks with NOFX and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones up at red rocks earlier this year but for some reason they weren't there and no one mentioned it. I'm so pissed about that and super jealous that you saw them

 Probably a health issue for Keith Morris is what made them drop out of that. He's got a pretty bad case of emphysema and flipped out on a couple of guys who were smoking right at the edge of the stage when I saw them. He actually had to go backstage and take some hits from his oxygen before he could finish the show because of the smoke. I can't imagine that he'd really do too well in Denver altitude. He hasn't aged well at all, if I didn't know better I would have thought he was in his late sixties when I saw him.

Even with all that, they still put on a hell of a show and reignited my interest in them after being pretty burnt out on them for a few years. If you get another chance to see them, I'd recommend it.

To be honest, we thought they were dead. Thats why we were so psyched to see them and so horribly disappointed when we didn't.

I'm still super ultra mega jealous

 The rest of the guys look 20 years younger than it's possible for them to be, it's really just Keith that looks like any moment could be his last. He was still plenty full of piss and vinegar and had a damn good amount of energy even if he didn't jump around quite like he used to. 

Don't be too jealous, I'm the guy who moved away from Austin, where I could see amazing bands every week, to come to Nowheresville and have to drive three hours to Albuquerque or six hours to Denver to see much of anything now. We have had a couple of bands come here that I never would have expected to see in such a place. Bad Manners came here, Agent Orange has been here a couple of times.... I went down to Santa Fe this past summer and saw X and The Detroit Cobras. Now THAT was a show everyone should be jealous they weren't at, that was easily one of the best shows I've ever seen, which sounds incredibly odd when you think about the fact that it was X's 31 year anniversary tour.

Okay, we're still waiting for the new tattoo pic.

I think I'm gonna draw up a new tattoo soon, inspired by the damn Ed Hardy billboard that went up on my corner a week ago.  I realize I'm dying after reading "Love Kills Slowly" everytime I drive by.  But I'm going to draw it myself.  It will go with Bettie and fit on the back of my arm quite nicely.  Just a commentary to the whole situation whether my newest relationship makes it or not.  I've held off on a new ink for a long time because I really couldn't think of anything I wanted all that bad, or at least by the talent I have available at the moment.

Still crying that I don't get to go to Fun Fest.  I saw Pat Todd a few weeks ago at some little dive bar in Silverlake and he said they will be playing at the Continental Club on the Thursday before.  They are playing with the Hickoids and Stevie Tombstone, just in case you want to see them again.  I know Keith is not going with them, so I don't know who is playing bass.  They have a new drummer, too; he used to play with Texas Terri.  I definitely like them better, which seems to annoy them but whatever.  The customer is always right!  Tell him I said hi from Canoga Park if you go.  He probably doesn't know me well enough to know me as just "Suzy" but he would know me as "Keith's friend who came to the Taix show."  He's a really nice guy -- well, they all are -- and definitely worth talking to.  He's got some great stories.

 Yeah, that picture may take a while to materialize, it's just not a spot I can do any justice to on my own and I'd really like it to be a bit further along before it's photographed anyway. As soon as it is though, I'll post it here.

At the tattoo convention I went to, Lyle Tuttle was there and he talked a lot about Ed Hardy. It's still bizarre to me that a hard core old school veteran of the tattoo world is now a famous fashion designer. Hell, it's hard for me to wrap my mind around all of the celebrities that have come out of this subculture in recent years.

You really ought to start planning now for next year's fest. The way this thing has grown is amazing and the fact that they can consistently attract such great bands is mind blowing. I've never seen a better organized or run festival of any kind.

It's great to hear that Pat Todd will be there again, it was down there last year that I got to see him play, twice even and once with The Hickoids! I had kinda thought about going to a small Psychobilly festival that night, but this sounds like a MUCH better show. Thanks for the info!
