Tattoo Who has one? Who’s getting one?

November 12, 2009

Homies.

 

Tattoos have been a piece of our history I do believe.  I find myself constantly teetering between a yes or a no.  Is my body hot enough to put a tattoo on it that I want to show off?  Will I regret it?  I’d like to hear about the tattoos out there, why you got it, what’s the significance, etc.

 

Plans for future tattoos?  Children’s illustrations have stuck out to me, curious george, wtwta, Lorax, a trout, undecided.

Alright I know I posted about him earlier but wanted to write briefly about our (Josh and myself) experience seeing Bazan at the Turf in St. Paul October 28.

Bazan: “are there any questions at this point in time in the show?”

Anonymous crowd member: “are you really a shit talker?”

Bazan: “well ya… I mean, isn’t everybody”

Accessible conversations throughout the night, the amazing two-piece Wye Oak and a great sound made this a top 5 show for me. Even though he put his relationship with God on the rocks and in the postmodern “in process” phase, this was one of the most spiritual shows I’ve been to in some time. On his blog after the show he said:

“Tonight’s show was another sellout, a nice change from last night’s show, and both Say Hi and BAZAN totally brought the ruckus to the twin cities. In terms of audience quality tonight was one of, if not the best, and the Turf Club is an amazing place to play. Act like you know.”

Design Help

Is anyone here familiar with CSS language and design capabilities for WordPress? If someone was up for a phone meeting to walk me through very basic concepts (keep in mind it will be like speaking a completely foreign language and may take time) I’d appreciate it.

I’ve been trying to educate myself on the CSS functions of WordPress for my own.

Been mostly using CSS-tricks.com but also trying to strip background bare to start over and not sure where to go from there. I’m using Elliot Jay Stocks’ “starkers” theme to attempt to accomplish it but not really sure where to go from there. I’m wondering if I need photoshop and other concepts to insert some of the new items I’m envisioning. This is mostly to pick up a new skill for fun with free time I have.
