Well some of you knew my layoff situation back in december and things here in Reno job market wise suck pretty bad.....The good news is we sold the new house and are moving to Santa Cruz, Ca where I hope to meet and hang out alot more often with my HAMB brothers and sisters..... We will be moving on the 19th of March, hope to see you all soon.
Good luck with them move, I jsut came back from Tahoe and driving threw Reno I wondered what people did out there for work T
cool man. I've been tryint to move back to santa cruz for years. I'm prepping my portfolio to start looking for work now. Hopefully I'll be joining you. I noticed the FTW in your avatar...figured you were from the area. Drop a line when you get back in town. I'm there all the time. My family and my girl live there. Friend of mine just openned up a salon so if you need good cuts go to her. and of course...the tattoo shops.haa.
Thanks all of you...... HF I will definately get ahold of you once I am down...... I know Jack "Snacky" and I will be hanging out alot and hopefully I will finally motivate him to finish his pick-em-up.....Also sure I will be spending alot of time at True Art either talkin shop with Jack or gettin more ink by Klem. PM me with your number and I will call ya. )
If you need any help on anything or just want to BBQ on a weekend let me know. I Live up on the mountain above Santa Cruz and good weather is coming. Joel Bakersfield Boy
Cool. I went to school and lived in SC for a while in the late 80's early 90's. One of my best friends still lives there near Pacifc Ave in downtown. The wife and I like going back and having breakfast at the CASH STORE on hwy 1 just outside of SC. Any one know of Zachery's is still open on the mall? DANG I'M HUNGRY NOW.Good luck on the move.
Awesome Joel....sounds good to me. And MrManz, Looks like I should be locking up a rental in Pleasure Point tomorrow, fairly big place with a decent garage.....until the 5 window is built I probably wont have a car to cruise around in, but I am looking into another ride for my gal....she had a sick 53 chevy but sold it recently to help with the house, and I sold the Merc for survival.... Looking forward to finally having some brothers close that I can help and that can maybe help me out.
There's a LOT of us around San Jose/Campbell/Santa Cruz..... Look forward to having another HAMB'er in the area
Good luck with the move,bro...... Now we will have another reason to go back to SC for a visit......we MIGHT have another art show on the cliffs, depends on some stuff......it would be good to hang with you and Snacky...... Johnny & Kali
That would rock....I just turned ol Snacks onto a rental with a 4 car garage....he needs it, so he can finally have all his rides at his house.
Klem is sick. Definately get some more work. I've been meaning to get inked by him for like....8 years maybe..haa. It's kinda hard when you have buddies that tattoo though. My girls brother is first class and free so...you know...haaa. Always last in line though. On the art show deal. Buddy of mine and I are planning on putting together and event at a shop on the otherside of the hill. It's a lot of planning and a ways off but I'd like to do it before summer end and I'm sure my buddy does as well. Basically a car/bike show, art show, couple of bands..etc. Bring out some stripers, painters, photographers..you name it.
Klem did the spark plug on my hand and both of the sleeves on my girl....am slowly having him redo the stuff I have an finish my sleeves Let me know if I can help in any way to put the show together....I am good like that....I put that Rockabilly Rod Reunion in Vegas together with the Vegas Motor Speedway so I can try to help you with that show too....would be happy to. Lets get Ace and Kali out for it.......
Welcome to the area from the Monterey side of the bay....Man go to Zachary's and order Mikes Mess (the whole order not some pussy half order) check out the hippies, freaks & earth muffins and have a good ole time. SC is a cool place you will dig it.....
Mikes Mess...YEAHHHHH.That's was hella good. Any of you SC guys old enough to remember the Beach Street cruise when it was still in SC (before it moved to WatsonvilleCo. Fair Grnd)?
when i go to Zachary's i get a Mike's Mess with a side order of home fries and some extra toast,the servings are just too damn small...
The hospitality of Snacky & the guys at TrueArt made our trip to SC in 03 great.....there was a really nice chick in hip-hugger pants who served us at this kick-ass crepe place.....also, the waitress from there got drunk and showed up at our hotel at 3:00 am wearing Texas socks and whizzing in the parking lot.....there was a VERY good diner-type place where we found ourselves one morning,hungry as hell, and everyone we spoke to said "The breakfast there rocks,but the waitress is grumpy....don't let her scare you"...so we went expecting SC's version of "NO soup for you!", and did indeed get the older,surly waitress, who fell for our Texas charms....KILLER chicken-fried steak,too...... Woodies on the Wharf was kinda surreal,but ice-cold oysters on the half-shell were better......Oh yeah,I don't know what the name is of that Deathride Highway that winds from San Jose to Santa Cruz, but we were white-knuckling it all the way..... So yeah, we had a good time.... Johnny & Kali
that's highway 17.... and the crepe place you're talking about is no doubt...wait for it...that's right, "the crepe place" haaaa. I've been there many of times..they always have lookers working there. Good food, good beer.
sure thing broham. I'll talk to my buddy and see when he's planning on doing this, besides...I need to get into the shop he wants it to be at. My car needs to get rolling before Paso.
