  1. Such an amazing source to hear all this great bay area history from! And to Robin/MsRad- I went and made my first appointment at Temple about two/three months ago having never actually met Freddy and he was nothing but cool to me. There's a reason the shop phone number is 510-451-NICE and the appointment card says "Freddy Corbin's Temple Tattoo "Good Times"" on it...
  2. reading all the Personal High Points is pretty awesome and inspiring

  4. yes. leeks are always amazing. I wanna rewatch Iron Chef: Battle Leeks now...
  5. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it. Have fun and I'll see you guys at the next one!
  6. every time I grab a paper towel now all I can hear in my head is "hey it's steve here and I've got a big surprise... here we go- it's paper towels!"

    YES. 2 nights after Motorhead no less. Bring me Chuck and Lucero in the same night. The Aggrolites are good live and all but Lucero just fits that bill so much better. Get stoked
  10. said it before and I'll say it again- Tim Hendricks' roses are my favorite. there's an awesome example on the entryway to his website here: Tim Hendricks Saltwater Tattoo blog and fuck yeah Hogg for Freddy Corbin's roses. I'm getting some done on sunday by him. I'll post some pictures here after it heals.
  11. I don't think Inception required any sort of mental overstimulation to watch it. You can trip out and get all stoney and way overanalyze stuff if you want but I still feel like I would've left my couch with a firm grip of what happened in the movie even if I hadn't put the extra thought into it. It's a pretty clear plot in my one time viewing opinion and an enjoyable one as well. The first movie that comes to mind for a movie that i was confused throughout it like you're describing though Wedge is Pirates of the Caribbean 3. That shit was unfollowable with all the twists and unexplained non sequiturs. It definitely makes something less enjoyable if you have no idea what's happening. It's like trying to watch tv without the audio- it's just not the same. and MsRad- your question of "what's the point" is entirely up to you. you don't necessarily have to bring some deep meaning out of a movie for it to be enjoyable (in fact most of us watch pointless flicks on the regular and enjoy them.) I think the execution of this film makes it stand on it's own regardless of anyone's opinion on the "point" of it, although having a deeper moral/psychological/thought-provoking impact definitely can make a movie stand above other films.
  12. pushups, pullups, and situps about every other day combined with cardio from bike riding whenever I go anywhere since I don't have a car. working in a warehouse works my legs too from all the heavy lifting I have to do. oh yeah, and stretching. I haven't been stretching as much recently and I can totally feel the difference in my body.
  13. I thought that that was the whole point of the totem continuing spinning at the end- to question whether anything that occurred was reality or not. Either way I really don't see how you can shit talk this movie. I thought it was fucking amazing.
  14. East bay too- there's one in Walnut Creek. The Counter
  15. I wish to edit my list to include Inception as my Best Film of 2010. Just watched it and holy shit that movie ruled

    seeing those pictures is making me hungry all over again...
  18. Me and Lochlan had the pleasure of visiting Lucky's and meeting Luke while in San Diego for the holidays. Beautiful shop with tons of great art on the walls. It's on the corner of 10th and Broadway and you can't miss it going by- huge roses cover the exterior of the building. Here's some photos of Luke's work pulled from Lucky's myspace: Both Lochlan and I left the shop super stoked on the experience. Made us both want to go to the ATM and pull out cash for some xmas presents to ourselves.

Personal Low Point: Walking away from a project I'd invested tons of time, energy, and love into because it had turned into something I didn't love.
