NYC bound...we went immediately to Anna Maria's on Bedford and then i immediately got sick, right on schedule...i managed to hang at Daddy's for a sec and hear some of Mcleod's jams...Andy told me he once overheard Diamond Dave say "I used to come here to see the circus man! (then he swigs a bottle of Jack) Now I am the fucking circus!". Nuff said.
Holy Shirt!!!...Halen!!!...they did "I'm The One" second...we nearly cried with joy...that stage setup was all wrong, that "S" needs to be a "V"...am i right?...didn't matter though, they fucking ripped...let the records show that Alex Van Halen is easily the best live drummer on earth...i was pissing when he started the opening drum roll on "Hot for Teacher", i nearly zipped my dick up running out to the stands...Eddie still shreads too and Wolfgang kind of looks like Jack Osbourne, go figure.
Halen Blimp! or zeppelin, not totally sure...it did have a camera on it though, maybe we will be on VH1 Legends or something...it should be noted i'm pretty wasted at this point and losing patience rapidly.
This kind lady wouldn't sell me 2 beers because i had one in my hand...party fouled on a technicality...at this point the worst band i've ever heard is wrapping up their amazing set.
Hard to see the stage, i know...this is the opener...i forget his name because i made a special promise to myself to do that...they were basically a world music band with super positive AA style lyrics about being positive...needless to say i nearly horfed up my Waborita...these guys covered "Let it Be" but explained that they "changed some of the lyrics"...apparently, The Beatles need some punching up for the Izod Center.
Ok, by this point we are looking for our seats and this is a pretty acurate portrayal of my actual vision at the time...it was so smokey in there because they run smoke machines all day to make it more awesome when the band goes on...jayson explained this to me because he toured with High on Fire and shit like that...i should also explain that i've never been to an arena rock show in all my life...jayson on the other hand, saw Anthrax in like 1990.
So this guy had the best set-up of the night...home-made flags, puffy stickers from the 1984 album, drunk leathery moms drinking pinas, and an open trunk playing every Roth Halen record in order...Jayson said there was a rule in hardcore where you couldn't listen to the band you were going to see 24 hours in advance or you would jinx the show, with rock dudes you ONLY listen to that band 24 hours in advance...in case you are curious, yes that is a home-made Diver Down flag that says "Van Halen Kicks Ass" in iron-on letters...at this point i am pretty much in heaven and half-and-half*
*watch heavy metal parking lot again if you need the definition
Here's my night at Van Halen kids...jayson has got a half a bottle of tequila in that bottle..Do the Dew!
cross your fingers that this baby gets printed...and that the large corporation they make records for pays me...woop.
First shirt i ever designed...also the first time i was censored...it's supposed to read "Quit your job and jerk off"...the moron who printed it thought "jerk off" was to severe, but not an erect penis...so the shirt made zero sense...not a big deal when i look back on it...i have so much rejected work...gotta do something with it one day.
another new one...i got really into pyramids for a while, not really sure why...i heard boulders are falling on BMW's on the east side of midtown...careful out there.
Roses...
And Rosen...
working on loads of stuff ...might have a resurgance in the field soon...if you get me.
Hump day!...thought i'd post some mid-week nudity for my loyal readers...got asked to do this for an auction to benefit AIDS research...so i'm not a total dick, just a bit of a dick.
Burning the entire series of Saxondale to DVD at the moment...cross yr fingers it turns out, gonna have a themed party in my living room...if you have never seen it, it's possibly the best tv show ever to come out of great brittain...well, that may be pushing it, but you tell me another show to have a Focus song as the theme and i might concede.
back from the wilderness folks...not sure what i'm going to do with myself now that i can't watch the History Channel non-stop...this drawing of my favorite tv fbi agent is my first attempt at fan fiction..look for my booth at next years comic-con
