Wow, you guys are awesome. When we started LST we had no idea it would evolve into such a great community so quickly. I'm just grateful that the mission of the site has already succeeded, and I know @Scott Sylvia is too. I honestly don't know what we'd do without the moderation team we have, and it's true that they are volunteers who mostly go un-thanked sans a free t-shirt or dinner here or there. @Iwar, how about we arm wrestle for for the print at the LST anniversary dinner on the 19th in SF? We both have guitar player arms so it should be an even match. Thanks for all the kind words and support everyone - here's to many more years!

Alrighty - I'm having a hell of a time reserving a table for 14 on the 19th. ..so I went ahead and reserved the same table we had last year at OTD (out the door): OTD Pacific Heights 2232 Bush Street, San Francisco, CA 94115 Tel: 415-923-9575 Our reservation is for 7:30pm They do good vietnamese food and parking wasn't bad last year. Any objections should come pre qualified with a confirmed availability at alternate suggestion. ;)

Here's another place Scott recommended: Barbecue in the Mission, San Francisco - Hi Lo BBQ Seems like a good choice anyone opposed?

here's the other place Scott recommended - sound good? http://www.locandasf.com/

Hey Folks, Lolinda finally got back to me about the reservation, and it turns out that they are closed on 9/19 for a private event. Feel free to post suggestions for another spot, I also pinged Scott to see if he has other ideas.

Hi Guys, Not really sure, but it could be that the image metadata is telling the server that 'sideways' is actually the right side up.. You should be able to change the orientation on your Mac/PC before uploading - it is possible to rotate images in the gallery on LST after uploading, but unfortunately not thread attachments.. Awesome crab by the way!

Boo.. you'll be missed!

Heads up that your account also has to be over 3 days old before you can start a thread outside of the initiation forum. this is a measure to protect the forum against spam. thanks for your patience and understanding. ;)

So here's our tentative list - jump in if I left somebody off, or if one of you can't make it so we can get a final head count for a reservation soon. We're at 14 here: @hogg @a1steaks @cltattooing @ian @dcostello @slayer9019 @Reyeslv @MadeIndelible @chrisnoluck @tammy @steve1461686340 @Iwar @dari @Scott Sylvia

Scott Sylvia says he can make it on the 19th too, and he suggested we reserve a big table at Lolinda on Mission St. in SF. Sound good?

Hey Ian, Thanks for asking! Tell your friend he can go here to request the activation link be resent to the email address he used when registering: Email Activation Codes - Last Sparrow Tattoo ..he should also see that link in a yellow notification message when he signs into LST. Cheers Steve

Hey there - thanks for asking this. Yes, you do need 10 posts, but you also need to wait 3 days after you register (was 7 days until now). You should be able to create threads now - let us know if you find otherwise. Cheers

@Iwar is right - anyone who has donated to LST should now have the 'site supporter' badge. Thanks for asking!

If you have less than 10 posts, and you post more than 4 links in a post, it will get auto-moderated. When that happens, our moderators will usually approve it w/in a day or so if it's not spam. There are also keywords that can trigger auto-moderation like 'buy cheap tattoo supplies' etc.. Thanks for your patience w/ these anti-spam measures that sometimes catch legit posts like yours. Cheers Steve

We've updated the LST Store system and added a new product type: downloadable eBooks. First up is Scott Sylvia's Rose Design Book - check it out: http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/store/ We hope to add more eBooks from other great tattoo artists soon. We'll be tuning up the store and making it better over time, but let us know if you run into any snags in using it. Thanks for your support as always.

Thanks for the ideas and suggestions here guys - Team LST is having a pow wow about this and we will do our best to implement what you're suggesting. We can merge threads, but the posts tend to intermingle based on their timestamp, so moving them is typically a safer bet. Stay tuned while we pontificate upon your suggestions..

I smoked for about ten years, what helped me quit was picking up chewing gum. pack comes with 20 sticks, gives me a little perspective shift, and helps occupy my subconscious or whatever. I buy it by the case. my brand is 'extra; polar ice'. Hang in there - first 30 days are the toughest, it get's easier and before long you'll be annoyed by smokers hah.

Sorry this is giving you trouble, and thanks for letting us know. Here's another way to delete images: go to one of your pics in the gallery: http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/gallery/member/13403-anchor.html > select 'image tools' > select 'delete this image > follow the prompts Let me know if this doesn't work either, and exactly what the error message or result is. Cheers Steve

Here's the shirt options: T-Shirts

Congrats @else ! and thanks for sharing those kind words, as you know that summarizes our whole mission with this site. PM me which shirt style and size you'd like, and where to send it and we'll get it right out to ya! Cheers
