deadxstop

Chris is a solid dude. A solid, honest dude. At least in my opinion. He gives it to me straight, he calls me out when I need it, he's a great listener, gives the best advice, and I feel he is one of the 'realest' people I've met in a long time. Chris owns deadxstop publishing company, what started out as him making a zine in the early 90's and now has turned into writing and publishing books. Really great books at that. I back and support this fool, and I think all of you should too.

I know, I know. Its been over a year in the works. But this thing will be ripping in the next week or two. I promise. now just waiting on my Motomatic intake and Gazelles to come in the mail. still have to buy pedal arms, bigger shocks, an air filter, red pedals, and back pegs and sew some sort of seat cover on it. shit is CLOSE! thanks to the Hot N Readyz for helping me out and for motivating me. < 3



Whiskey Business 3 was a great success. Thanks to everyone that came out. It went smoothly and was a blast. We had an unreal amount of people show up from all over the country, and Denmark too! Hopefully we get to see all of you at Bomb Prom!

BAD BOYS FOR LIFE.

no more snow!

I'm moving a mile away into a house with a garage and a miniramp within the week. So stoked on both of those things. I can finally stop working on mopeds in my bedroom. Whiskey Business 3 is just around the corner. Replacing the maxi clutch before then, then playing with these new guys for the top tank project:

You should all check out Pat Perry's art. It's really something else. All hand drawn detailed epicness. He's my little buddy from the Grand Rapids, MI moped gang, The Ghost Riders. Super sweet kid. Full of talent. Now go lurk on him.

In other news...

I got my shin tattooed(FUN!) a couple weeks ago by Scott Santee from Columbus, OH. Really rad guy. Super fast too. Oh, and jokes. Lots of jokes. (oh, and yes, that's Thyme around the hour glass.)

That Cromags/Merauder/Death Threat/The Killer/Left Hand Path show that I went to last week was righteous! Such a fun show.

ps. I love Chicago.

so, after years of trying to move here and my plans blowing up in my face, I finally was presented with a rad job, rad roomates, and a really nice cheap apartment. close to everything.

Magnolia Photobooth is now up and running in and around Chicago. Already had two really successful events, and already have a bunch lined up for october. stoked. I also scored a part-time warehouse job at Threadless, picking/packing shirts, and as a t-shirt model through a friend. which is hilarious and a lot of fun.

My gila e50 is so close to being done. put together, cases sealed, just waiting to get circlips. and a carb. maybe narrow my bars. and to make the seat, which shouldn't be too hard. i'm crafty. My general tank came in the mail a few weeks ago. paint and decals done, thanks to jamie leslie and david brooks.

Dear Bandits and TBS, please don't be upset with me for missing our joint moped rally camping trip, but...I'm going to see Cro-Mags and Death Threat next month!! so excited!

I will be back to Louisville this weekend for two photobooth events, then back to Chicago. Come visit me!
