Pictures from the Paradise Convention!!!!
But first a little message for some people with no life:
So, it looks like I have some stalkers from my past lurking around these parts. Awesome! People who I don't talk to for the past 15 years.... gossiping and sharing a password to look at me naked (not that I care) and obsess over my life. All thanks to Facebook.
Ah, the stupidity.
Hey assholes, Get a life and please stay the hell out of mine!
ok enough of that. for the rest of you who actually "get" what SG is all about and aren't just here to butt into my life and gossip....
Well here are the pictures from the Paradise Tattoo Gathering in Massachusetts a few weeks ago.
Taken, of course, by the amazingly talented AlissaBrunelli
The convention was at a ski lodge in the mountains of eastern Mass.
and everyone stayed in the condos in the ski village!

It was freaking beautiful!


Love for Hell City!
Coming up sooner than you think, kids 
We road tripped up from Columbus...Alissa and I followed Durb and Tony. One of my favorite road trips of all time! Alissa and I each burned a ton of cds and 10 hours flew by like it was 4 hours.
Durb heading out on the roadtrip!

Here is the tavern where we hung out ever night after the convention.

FALL!

me during set up

Durb and Tony getting the audio set up

Cookout the first night


me hanging out at one of the artists forums. i look silly...
haha

Cherry was coming to visit us the next week anyway so she flew into Mass and went to the convention and drove back to Columbus with Alissa and I.
me and Cherry girl.

my heart hurts from missing this girl...and she's only been gone a week
What do you get when you put a bunch of tattooed people in the mountains of Mass?


Awesome!
Phil and MindyLou

Durb and Jeff

Jeff and Jeff (not brothers)

As if this place wasn't cool enough, there was an alpine slide and a mountain coaster!!!


I'm not gonna lie, I was a little scared before I went for the first time!

It didn't help that Jeff was telling me he was going to ram into my coaster


could i look more like an excited 5 year old?

probably not....but Durb could

At the bar




Me, Cherry and Kiley. red white and blue

Nick Baxter finishing Stina's sleeve.


she and I both sat for 8 plus hours and our arms were swollen up like giant water balloons!
She's a total sweetheart!
I can't wait to see hers after it's all healed up! It looked amazing!
If you want to see all 373 pictures from the gathering, including tons of shots of the amazing work done there during the weekend....check out AlissaBrunelli's albums.
Other than that, I've been busy painting and moving into my new place! It's coming along and I can't wait until I'm finally settled so that I can start working on writing my book!!!
It's time!
proper Halloween pictures from Havana (taken by Alissa and not my crappy camera like the last ones I posted coming soon
)
