2014 Montreal Art Tattoo Convention

[guitguy]

I have to miss Montreal again this year. Disappointed but, looking forward to seeing lots of pics. The 'latest lowdown' thread has been a bit slow lately. That will change around mid September I'm sure.

Things are still up in the air, but I am feeling pretty certain we'll be there.

Well, our employer, a major educational institution, couldn't manage to pay us for our labor, even though they had more than a month.

Our Montreal trip is cancelled, deposit lost, irritation levels are high.

@Mark Bee well that is a bummer. was looking forward to hanging out.

Time to teach students a little bit about rioting??

This sucks!!! I know Ron guests at the Pearl often enough, so hopefully you guys can make up the appointment then, but we will miss you!

@Mark Bee Those fuckers! I'm bummed that you and Erin won't be able to make it and I hope the situation is resolved soon, even though you've waited far too long as it is.

[El Dolmago]

They seems to be doing their level best to make out lives difficult - no Montreal con, no Ron Wells and bonus no Fan Expo this weekend - feeling very disappointed that I won't get the chance to meet everyone and visit with @Pugilist and @Graeme again.

[HaydenRose]

Bummer @Mark Bee and @El Dolmago!

I'm working very hard to make it to this, but life has been hectic as usual... Keep you all posted if I do make it out. Would love to meet you all.

You guys know if they sell the convention tshirts online at all? Like maybe when it's over or something?

[tatB]

Today!

[Pugilist]

Looking forward to hanging with you nerds.

[Mark Bee]

Have a great time, everyone. Sorry we are missing out on hanging with you all.

[Pugilist]

We'll miss you guys too, Mark! Hope we have a reason to hang out soon.

[ironchef]

Nerds unite!!!!

[tatB]

Nerds unite!!!!

You should make the trip next year.

[ironchef]

You should make the trip next year.

Maybe I will. In the meantime...PICTURES PLEASE! Of the LST gang, the convention, artists, tattoos, weirdos, Canadians!

[idyllsend]

I am very jealous of you who are there! Can't wait to see who is getting what and by who!

Can't wait until next year. Had a great time hanging out with LSTers, getting tattooed, and chatting with some great tattooers. So many good people and beautiful tattoos.

[Pugilist]

Dudes, I need a weekend from my weekend. We conventioned HARD this year. I am done.

[Shaun1105]

I had an absolutely awesome time at my first convention. It was great to meet up with everyone, thanks for making my brother and I feel so welcome! I will definitely try to get back to Montreal next year (or maybe sooner!).

[HaydenRose]

I'm still crying inside that I didn't make it... Therefore next year I'm going to make it a point to go AND possibly get tattooed. Gotta make it epic.

[Graeme]

Yeah, going all three days is EXHAUSTING. It was really a lot of fun though, got a great tattoo, saw a lot of great tattoos, showed my butt to people I hold in very high esteem, hung out with friends, made new friends, and all around had a great time. It's weekends like these that make me feel really fortunate to have a part, however small, in this crazy tattoo thing.

Here's a picture from our LST brunch meetup on Saturday:

I've probably said it before, and I'm sure I'll say it again, but y'all are a great bunch of people: smart, funny, interesting, fun to hang out with. I'm proud to call you friends.

[tatB]

@Graeme I'm not ready to commit to friendship. Can we just be casual acquaintances?

[Pugilist]

@BrianH - you saw his butt. You're now either friends or enemies.
