Lost Sailor - Ink

Since I first got inked high school, I have yearned to get a traditional clipper ship tattoo. For me, that  image hearkens back to a time when men traveled and 'got under the skin' of their environs.  But as tattoo's go most people usually start with art that has meaning, relevance of family or images that represent a time and space. I have those now. This month I finally took the time to get the boat. It also happens that I love the lyrics of Lost Sailor and the images it conjures. I opted for a dark & stormy adaptation. I'm not a sailor. I'm a land locked, Lost Sailor. Nik Pew of Landmark Tattooing manned the helm. 

Hit Play.

Hells Angels Forever - Denver MC Viewing


In 1984 Sandy Alexander (Hells Angel N.Y.C.) wrote the only club endorsed movie about the MC. The movie was pitched with little fanfare and never made it to the big screen. Since then copies have been made and small viewings have occurred. Last night the Hells Angels, Denver had a fundraising event which involved the first public, screening of the movie on a big screen at the Oriental Theatre.


The MC has a very rich history which few people know about or get a chance to learn about. Last nights viewing was a great way to learn about the clubs perspective on themselves through the movie and also a chance to sit with members old and young in the Colorado area that were friends and brothers with some of the cast.

"Gonna Make the Mountains be My Home" - Furthur 9/19/2013 - Red Rocks

Well the boys kicked off the Red Rocks, Sep 2013 shows with a really solid first set and a second set that lit the rocks on fire. Love the Uncle John's Band and crowd of hippies screaming.."Don't Tread on Me." Lady with a Fan / Terrapin... almost caved my skull in. Highly debated as what could be the last full tour of Furthur, this one is well worth catching. Bravo boys.

Mountain Song - February 2013 - First Bank Center

The one at Red Rocks last night, killed it.


My Kinda Guy

My buddy was dirt biking in Granby, Colorado and happened upon this Ford, Econoline Pickup in the staging area. Check the stickers..the fraternity of dudes that fly NRA, Ducks Unlimited and Dead stickers is a very small one. My kinda guy. Sweet ride also.
