Man, what can I say? After a week of being sick as hell, anything would have been good, but this past weekend was a real surprise full of the Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention and TeamRockstar adventures!
The escapades began on a somber note when our Thursday shoot didn't happen for the saddest of reasons. She knows who she is and that's all I'll say about that, except to add that our hearts and thoughts go out to her for her loss with wishes of nothing but the best in her future.
Friday dawned with me finally beginning to feel like somewhat of a human again. While I set up and moved around what equipment needed to be moved, and played chauffeur to the human element of our adventures, tmronin did what he does to bring you the best SG has to offer. Friday ended 5 sets later with tmronin having a tired trigger finger!
We finally managed to drag our butts back home around 2am for a beer or three before crashing around 4. So who did we do our best to bring to you? That would be Leela, JoLeigh, Apple, Ember, and Lovely! You're going to love them all!!!
Saturday was spent at the tattoo convention. What a blast!!! I met and re-met so many SG folks that I'm forced to go against my usual style and not give names out of fear of forgetting someone! OK, one name... go give Fractal some love for coordinating the SG portion of this event, for doing such a great job with it, and for being an all-around great person to meet! Suffice it to say that there were some really great people there. And yes, there were a few complete idiots there as well, but they, thankfully, had nothing to do with SG! If you were too far away to attend, I hope the tattoo convention nearest you is at least half the fun of this one. That would be more than enough to guarantee you a good time. And if you were close enough to attend and didn't, you blew it! Shoots that had been planned for Saturday didn't happen for reasons beyond our control, but Sunday made up for that!
Sunday's shoots were best described by the model involved... and I quote, "WOW and BRRRRR"! Mayhem ROCKS!!! And I don't mean just for being able to endure the 45 degree temperature in the space where we were shooting! If you're interested in experiencing what that's like, go hang out naked in your refrigerator for 2 or 3 hours and you'll start to get the idea. I can't remember witnessing a better attitude toward adverse conditions from a model. Sort of like 'OK, this is miserable, but it works...LET"S DO IT!!!' The next time you see a model making it look easy, think of Mayhem and remember that it's not. They're just that good at what they do!
OK, more than enough of my rambling. Hope everyone is loving life and that tomorrow brings you nothing but pleasant surprises!

Good Job!
It lives as far north as Cape Cod, Mass. though. We have them here in Jersey.
