Good god. Has it really been that long?? Well, yes I guess it has.
Life has been a bitumbusy?.....since I moved to Atlanta last month. Prepare to settle in for a long one. Got a drink? Good. Need to pee? Go now. Ok - comfy? Great! Let's see what the hell I've been up to!

I think I moved here April 3rd or 4th? Can't remember. Anyhoo, April 8 was my boy Michael's (at whose condo I am currently camping out) b-day and I took him to see Mary J Blige and Jay Z - fucking amazing show. Some R&B/Hip-Hop shows suck ass juice but these two fucking killed it. Amazing. For reals.
Then I went to a bunch of openings - art, restaurant, and roof top decks - woo hoo! Also saw Ministry and Meshuggah - fuckin' A - got nice and bruised in the "pit-adjacent" position I took. I love to shove people - what can I say? Another killer fucking show.
Had a bunch of meetings with clients and potential clients for my new job(s) - I have three, count'em three, jobs now. And yet I am still broke. And way more tired. Sigh. BUT - it's comin' y'all - I can feel it.
So, let's see - what else? Ate a lot. Damn but Atlanta has soooooooooooo many good places to eat. Went to the botanical gardens for a sculpture show - phenomenal. Perfect time of year to take in the flowers. When I got here in early April the whole town was all dogwoods and azaleas. Now the more summer-y blooms are bursting forth in all their glory - beautiful stuff. Saw the Atlanta roller derby girls - was super fun but the flat track is kinda boring and small, wish they had a better venue.
I also got two new tattoos - a Japanese peony on my left shoulder by Tim Orth and a spider mum on my right should by Short - both of these AMAZING artists are at All or Nothing Tattoo in Smyrna. I am working on sleeves and Tim & Short are collaborating on some killer shit - I promise to post pics soon.
Speaking of pics, I am STILL trying to get my last SG set photoshopped - I have had three different people flake out on me now and I can't believe how long it is taking. Pretty soon I'll just throw the shit up on here unedited and you'll all see the circles under my eyes - HA!
I also just got back from a quick return to Louisiana to check on my house. Good thing I did because I had tons of minor damage from all the recent tornados. Does anyone else think the weather has been particularly viscous and man-eating lately? Cyclones and earthquakes and tornados - OH MY! And now we're just heading in hurricane season in the Gulf - yay! I better sell that damn house before it gets blow to pieces. Sigh.
Solife is crazy. No time to think or sit or surf or anything chill. But it's all good - making progress on the "startr-over" which is always stressful and takes time.I'll try to be better about keeping in touch. I still got nothin' but love for y'all!!!!!
Here's some pics from the scene:

Random wig in road - sort of tragic I think



This is the consession stand from roller derby....hmmmm...veggie dog sell out...lots of lesbians and hippies at the derby I guess - bwhahahahahahahaha!



Late night run to the vending machine...I love snacks!



Posted on the bathroom wall at the bakery kitchen - so scary and hilarious!!!!!



Smiley truck bed - moving some chairs never looked so happy



View from my balcony - the Federal Reserve building at sunset as a storm was rolling in....the marble reflects the sun in such a cool way, I find myself staring at this building a lot
