@Beatle:

baby is doomed blessed to buy Ironheart once she´s old enough…

lol, I guess not having a choice can be a blessing

@monday:

who's the kid Kat???

& why would you bother Jack about his calorie intake, hahahahahahaha

My co-worker's kid. 
(But he's also 1/2 Japanese with a blonde wife, so that's basically what mine would look like)

And Jack was stoked when I asked him, kept saying stuff like "great question kid, lemme tell ya…" and proceeded to talk my ear off about the importance of health for 10 minutes...
(Should have challenged him to arm wrestle...)

[Katsushin]

Another Audobon moment…

Got a few more pics I need to post when I've got a free second, then I believe these will be going back "home" to Japan for a little visit with everyone's favorite Deutschlander in a couple weeks…

[Beatle]

Kat - ur leg was so enjoyable ! I don´t think I can top that..maybe only with an Haraki-san attempt at the Coasting World Cup

[Seul]

Now we're talking, Beats…

But ya: great stuff, Kat!..

[Geo]

well i'm looking forward to the beatle show BUT i have to say katsushin's tour was epic . . . made me realise that little piece of fabric is waaaay more than a coaster!

[Katsushin]

Thanks guys.
Knowing Beatle was after me definitely lit a fire under my ass.

(Kind of like being the opening act for a really great band)…

Wish I coulda done a little more, but as Monday said once"life's really got me by the nuts right now"...

[Beatle]

Kat - if I was a motivation - it sure paid off…great concert

[madmonday]

Katsushin, you have been cemented in history as the "coaster toaster"

great leg.

looking forward to beats in Japan & then closeout with Landocal . . . unless of course, this tour expands. . .

[jacoavlu]

Put it this way:
Lets see someone else make the coaster grow…
Kats leg cannot be topped

[Katsushin]

Well it's my last day with these little guys.
I have to admit, I got a little attached, but I do have coasters of my own so I suppose it's time to show them a little love.
(It's been like having exchange students, and finding them much more interesting and exotic than your own kids…)

Anyways...
My studio is a block away from Humboldt State University.

They have an amazing enviormental sciences program and botany and biology and all that other sciency hippy stuff.
A great benifit of that is their amazing greenhouse that is open to the public during the week.
Decided to take these guys on a little field trip before their big journey overseas...

Then it was bath time before being sent off to auntie Beatle…

It was a perfect day for a line dry…

Then I realized I had to leave, but they weren't quite dry.  I was hoping to get them in the mail today, and I didn't want to send them wet, so I devised this "brilliant" method for a speed dry…

And here they are at full speed…

And here I am pulled over on the side of the road hunting for the one that flew off at 50mph…

(No worries though…it took a while but I did find it on the side of the road a few hundred yards back)

Off to the post office tomorrow and the adventure continues......

[Seul]

I KNEW that speeddrying method was gonna fail hahaha… Brilliant though!..

Oh yeah, love the ghost arc.  And love your leg of the tour, Kat.  Sad to see it ending.

[elclintor]

EPIC is the only word that comes to mind when thinking about your leg of the tour Kat!

Great job!

[rocket]

[Beatle]

[elclintor]

Bummer…..

[Beatle]
