I get to participate three weeks from today! I can't wait.

Who are you going to, @hogg ?

[Duffa]

I just need to get some healed shots and it's on! haha ;)

Bout damn time, too! Looking for it, my man!!!

@Lochlan, wondering, would it even things out if all the actual votes were cast the last week of the month? Don't know how this software works, but in other sites I've admin'ed, there is a poll option, and voting can be opened and closed at will. Just wondering if having ALL the work submitted get the same length of time to collect votes would work. No biggie, just musing.

I should have a couple good ones for September, the competition is always fierce, but hoping Cripwell and Gilsdorf can get me in the running again.

[hogg]

Who are you going to, @hogg ?

I'm going back to Stuart Cripwell for my other knee. @David Flores, you headed down to the Bay? I can't wait to see what you get from Dan. His stuff is so good! Everything is just perfect.

Yeah the week after labor day. Getting tattooed at Spider Murphys on Wednesday and Blackheart on Thursday.

@hogg . Right. Forgot about that one. Short term memory, ya know.

Depending on when I take my trip to the East Coast, I may have something to contribute this month.

I saw that on his Instagram yesterday. It's fucking awesome, and you are a BEAST for sitting 7 hours on your goddamn chest.

[chrislj54]

Yeah it wasn't easy but well worth it. Matt was great guy and super talented tattooer.
