who knows how often i'll actually publish these, but here's a thing i've been working on. it's too long, i am not a professional writer (at least not this way) but i thought he was fun to talk to. hopefully it's fun to read. plenty of playlists to be found on the site, too.
i absolutely cheated by interviewing my lifelong best friend and bandmate first, but it's not like anyone's paying for this, and he has a pretty unique job a lot of people don't know much about, except as a customer.
I AM a professional (ish) writer and an editor, and this was excellent and full of personality and voice.
Also, my tattoo artist has a NE Portland neighborhood shop(pe) and your description of a day at your shop echoes my good experiences there.
thank you, i really appreciate it! i think people don't really think about what tattooers think about this kind of stuff, particularly if they've been in a neighborhood a long time
Did he mention the name of the parlor in Hawaii? My last tat was done by one of two brothers that we knew who were originally from the Newberg area and had relocated to Maui. Spike and Jaxon. (Would happily DM a pic, I've always thought it is an exceptional design).
Ah, well then. If they island hopped at all, I hope the OR contingent met up and enjoyed a home brew together! You know how they are with home brewing! Lol
