It’s June, and I’m finally dusting off the blog. Here are my obligatory apologetic first two lines. In doing so, along with purging e-mails and a glass of beer, I’ve come across a few gems of ideas and more importantly a few lists in some e-mail drafts.
List 1: Tattoo Country
My concept for a tattoo has long been the same: Get a tattoo for each country that I visited. The idea is that it will evolve along with me. The more I travel, the more ink I get. Currently I only have 2 of 9.
Canada, Mexico, Turkey, Israel, Jordan, Niger, Burkina Faso, United States, France
List 2: Set List from Spiritualized Concert at the Wiltern in 2012:
