10/2/07
SEEMS LIKE ALL OF THE BUGS WITH SERVER WORKED THEMSELVES OUT AND MY PHONE IS WORKING AGAIN! THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR ALL OF THE POSITIVE FEEDBACK ON THE SITE...AND A BIG HUGE THANKS TO AARON NAGEL FOR THE NEW SITE!!! IT'S EXACTLY WHAT I HAD IN MIND, AND IT WAS A SUPER EASY TO WORK WITH HIM.

I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO REPAIRS, BUT THAT'LL BE FIRST ON THE LIST ONCE I GET BACK FROM THE MEETING WITH THE NEW MACHINIST TOMORROW. REPAIRS WILL ALL SHIP BY THE END OF THE WEEK. WE ARE GETTING THE PRODUCTION DAMASCUS MACHINES OFF THE GROUND THIS WEEK. THEY WHOULD BE READY TO GO BY THE END OF THE MONTH. THE HOOK SHADERS SHOWED UP LAST WEEK WHILE I WAS AWAY, AND THE PORTALS AND MECHOS WILL BE ALONG LATER THIS WEEK OR EARLY NEXT WEEK, SO THEY ARE ONLY A WEEK OR TWO OUT. THIS WILL BE THE LAST RUN OF ALL OF THE OLDER MACHINES, THEY ARE ALL BEING DISCONTINUED. THE FIRST RUN OF THE ZEKONAH SHADER, THE ACANTHAJONES LINER AND THE ACANTHAJONES SHADER SHOULD BE ALONG RIGHT AFTER.

I SUBMITTED A COUPLE OF SICK NEW SCRATCHBOARD PIECES TO "SKIN VANDALS", ADRIAN LEE, NORM, AND SHAWN BARBER'S UPCOMING GALLERY SHOW IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SAN JOSE CONVENTION OF THE TATTOO ARTS. THE MAIN EVENT IS ON THE 18th OF OCTOBER, WHICH IS THE DAY BEFORE THE START OF THE CONVENTION. THE INTENTION OF THE SHOW IS TO REVEAL THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF GRAFFITI WRITERS, TATTOOERS, AND FINE ARTISTS. WITH THE DIVERSITY AND VOLUME OF TALENT ON THE ROSTER, IT'S BOUND TO BE A ONCE IN A LIFETIME SHOW.
