what's in a week?

so... last week Tommy came in to get his ribs tattooed. His brother does some pretty rad artwork, and this is one of his pieces. Didn't get it all finished, but got it all lined, and prob got through 75% of the black. So til next time.... this is all you get. A nice pair of boots.


After which i went down to Hammersmith to see Death Cab. Was an awesome show, as always. 


Sunday was pretty eventful too. Got up pretty early, and went out for a skate. This is what Sunday morning looked like....


was a little worried it would be too icy to skate, but it was fine... although times a ticking' and it's getting colder n colder by the day.

Sunday evening i got a message of my mate, Sam who was feeling the cabin fever, so we went out for an epic roast in one of my favourite dog friendly Sunday roast haunts which shall remain unnamed for fear of more people knowing about it....


That evening, i went along to punk rock karaoke...


it was pretty empty. i didn't recognise ANYONE there, but it was fun, and it's not everyday u get to see guys from awesome bands jamming together and just having a generally good time. 


Yesterday was my day off, and i'd booked in with good ol' Andy at the ever-green Haunted weeks ago to get some little bits n bobs done....


i think this shop is one of the few places in existence with more crap about than my humble abode!


wearing gloves today is proving a little tortuous.... 


left side of my brain thinks like this....


right side of my brain tends to be a little more like this....

So after good times, a little pain and some good catch up chatting, i swooped on down to Angel to meet Kez who i haven't seen much of recently. 
i like Angel tube, i like how they have a "thought of the day". i wish my train station had that... although High Barnet has a massive bear sculpted out of a tree trunk, and a kids plastic train set on permanent display.... so we aint too shabby.


So after a few drinks, some cheese and meat.... Kez had to head off to meet a friend and i went to go see the Okkervil River gig which was awesome. I wasn't expecting anyone i know to be there, and i was right.... although a friend of mine was selling the mercy, so at least there was someone to chat to in intervals. I didn't get any pics, so here's a music video for y'all....


The back drop at the gig was fuckin' sweet...  designed by Will Sheff, the singer. He does really nice kinda illustrative folksy artwork.... got a cool t shirt designed by him last night too. y'all should get on that google and check it out!

good stuff.
