9/25/07 - FIRST UPDATE:
SO, THE SITE IS UP AND EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE ENJOYING IT, BUT ME! THERE IS SOME SORT OF ISP BLOCK THAT IS KEEPING ME FROM DOWNLOADING THE SITE, OR ANYTHING ELSE (INCLUDING EMAIL) OFF OF THE SERVER. THE WEB GUY (AARON NAGEL) AND TECH SUPPORT FOR MY ISP, HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE, SO WE'RE NOT SURE HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO FIX. CONVENIENTLY ENOUGH, MY PHONE LINE WENT OUT THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY, AND THE SOONEST THEY COULD GET SOMEONE OUT HERE IS TOMORROW, WHICH IS ALSO THE DAY THE FAMILY AND I LEAVE FOR FIVE DAYS. SO, IF YOU HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET A HOLD OF ME, YOU CAN USE EMAIL: AC@AARONCAIN.COM...I AM STILL ABLE TO GET TEXT FROM THE SERVER BASED EMAIL, I JUST CAN'T DOWNLOAD ANY ATTACHMENTS...OR JUST WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEK TO GET IN TOUCH. WE'LL BE BACK SUNDAY. IF ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCES ANYTHING LIKE THIS..OR ANYTHING ELSE KOOKY, PLEASE LET ME AND AARON KNOW: AARON@AARONNAGEL.COM.
THE TLC SHOW "TATTOO WARS," THAT I PARTICIPATED IN WITH GUY AITCHISON, WILL BE AIRING IN THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO. NO ONE IS SURE OF THE EXACT DATE YET, BUT IT WILL BE ONE OF THESE: OCTOBER 11, 18, 25, NOVEMBER 1, 8 OR 15 AT 8:00PM EST. GUY AND I REALLY PUT 100% INTO MAKING IT THE MOST IT COULD POSSIBLY BE. MAKE SURE TO CHECK IT OUT!
KARL MARC'S HANDMADE VOLUME 3 SHOULD BE OUT VERY SOON. I WAS HONORED TO DO AN INTERVIEW FOR THE PROJECT AND I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT COMES OF THE NEW GALLERY SHOW AND BOOK.
I'M STILL TRYING TO FIND TIME TO GO THROUGH THE PAGES AND PAGES OF TRANSCRIPTS FROM THE INTERVIEW I DID WITH BJ JOHNSON FOR TATTOO ARTIST MAGAZINE OVER A YEAR AGO. WE PLAYED POOL ALL DAY EVERY DAY FOR A WEEK AND COVERED A LOT OF GROUND. MOST DEFINITELY THE LONGEST INTERVIEW I HAVE EVER GIVEN, AND ONCE I GET A CHANCE TO GO THROUGH AND CONSOLIDATE THE FRAGMENTED, MULTIPLE DAY ANSWERS TO SOME IMPORTANT QUESTIONS, IT WILL ALSO DEFINITELY BE MY BEST.
I'M STILL RUNNING BEHIND ON REPAIRS. I HAVE ABOUT A DOZEN IN HOUSE RIGHT NOW, AND I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU GUYS. I SET UP TO DO THEM ALL LAST WEEK, BUT A FEW THINGS CAME UP, INCLUDING WHAT YER LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW! IT'LL BE FIRST PRIORITY WHEN I COME BACK NEXT WEEK.
ALL OF THE OLD PRODUCTION MODEL FRAMES ARE BEING RETIRED. AS OF THIS POST, LUCKY SUPPLY HAS STOCK OF JONESIES, BONERS AND MINI-HOOKS, BUT ONCE THEY'RE GONE, THAT'S IT...NO MORE. HOOKS, PORTALS, AND MECHOS WILL BE ALONG SHORTLY, WITH THE SAME DEAL. THIS IS THE LAST RUN OF ALL OF THE OLD JUNK, GIVING WAY TO THE BETTER, STRONGER, MORE AWESOMER 2007 MODELS.
I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF DOING A SHIRT FOR AFFLICTION CLOTHING...IT'S GOING TO BE SUPER COOL, AND JUST IN TIME FOR HALLOWEEN (HINT...HINT..)
THE NEW DAMASCUS PRODUCTION MACHINES ARE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER! THEY ARE GOING TO BE SICK AS HELL. KEEP YER EYES OUT FOR EM. I HAVEN'T HAD THE CHANCE TO DO ANY CUSTOM MACHINES AT ALL IN THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS, AND I'M REALLY MISSING IT, SO AS SOON AS THINGS MELLOW OUT, I'M GOING FULL STEAM AHEAD TO OUTDO EVERYTHING I'VE DONE IN THE PAST.
THAT'S ALL FOR NOW. I'LL KEEP YA'LL POSTED.
