IRON HEART World Tour II 2011-2012 - Beatle Buster SBG
-
OK…
So I guess a standard part of the WT experience is giving other's a glimpse into your life and surroundings and let them in on a part of the world they might not otherwise experience.
For any that don't know, I live in very Northern California in an area called Humboldt County.
It's right on the Pacific Ocean and home the the last old growth redwood forests in the world (the tallest trees ion the planet). It is best known however as the marijuana growing capital of the United States. For anyone who's heard rumors of this place, they're all true and then some. I'm not directly involved in that world, but I honestly like being part of a community that is completely self sustaining through counter culture ideals.
The town I work in, Arcata, is a very liberal hippy college town with a couple of natural food stores and more yoga studios and massage therapists than you can shake a stick at. I run a semi-private tattoo studio near the college. Won't bore you with the details, but if you're interested try truenaturetattoo.com and that should give somewhat of an idea of what I'm about.
As I said before, life's been hectic, so my leg of the tour tapered off fairly quick. Didn't have time to run around to all the epic spots around where I live and get pics.
I wake up, get kids/family dialed, go to work and tattoo all day, come home, eat, go for a walk and call it a day.
My evening walk down my road has become my favorite part of the day, so I can at least share that…
So this is me and my son after dinner cruising the road...
If anyone is familiar with the Lone Wolf and Cub manga (and later movie) series of which I'm a huge fan, you'll get the whole loner dude pushing the baby vibe I'm going for.There's lots of farmer and rancher types on my road, so that means there's a lot of old barns…
Another fixture on the road and the whole area is old tree stumps. This used to be a very heavy logging area and you see them everywhere. You can see the notches in the side of the top one. That's where the old loggers would chisel out a piece so they could wedge a board in it to stand higher up on it and saw the tree…
For being a rural and semi rustic area, it's surprisingly not too "rednecky". There's plenty of quirky flavor and charectars on the road. My neighbors crossing sign and sticker on her cool old Ford…
And lastly, the view I look out on as I'm walking…
Hope that wasn't too boring, and wish I could've done a bit more for the tour, but hopefully it gave a little taste of my scene.
Now they'll be heading down the coast to DEP and the next chapter… -

I'm sorry but I also have to drop out. A 36" waist would look bloody ridiculous on me.

nothing a hot wash and a belt can take care off…

Loved your contributions Katsushin. The descriptions of your area reminds me of Thomas Pynchon's Vineland… Looks like a good place for hippies to get lost!
-
I withdrew from the list ages ago, messaged beetle and got removed
From the list.
Also 36" waist is too big for me. -
Is there still room for me on the list for this WT.
I'd like to get in as well somewhere after the German leg (Finn and the-monkey) …
Yep, should be room for both of you…..
-
thanks for the tour Kat. tell Craig i said hello and have him play you some Open Eyes tunes! lol. for anyone that wears a 33-34 waist, these will be fine on you. either that or i'm just getting fatter. hopefully, i'll get up to your neck of the woods in the next year or two Kat. take care.

Will do TV…
Well, my leg has ended (or been put out of its misery considering my recent slacking on posts). But not before they were able to meet the Whiteys from the another IH World Tour currently in rotation.
Zhivago and I are friends, but don't currently live in the same state, so it really is quite something that these two pairs were in the same place at the same time by pure chance.
Not the best photo shoot, but we're both super hectic at the moment, so the fact we got any pics in is a minor miracle.
SBGs even got to go for a little horsie ride on the whites…
Again, Z and I are old friends, and I wouldn't ride just any guys leg for a quick laugh, but for you IH forum...why not!

He needs a White Russian to go with the white denim, no?
