It's 3:10AM here in Los Angeles. Thought I'll post this pix of me playing with the gator in the swamp of Louisiana. I was looking around to make sure his mother wasn't nearby by. Click on it for a larger image.

I guess I'm doing a show for my buddy Tattoo Chris this coming Friday. www.tattoochris.com for more info.

I'm so sleepy and the screen is all blury. Anyhow, I decided to get another bike since I'm not going to hold my breath hoping that the fine police force of West Hollywood will recover my stolen harley. I've decided to get a 2005 Triumph Bonneville. I'm trying to get money for the bike so this weekend I put together a Rope Series Box Set in my store. Check it out!!!

Okay, I'm off to bed. Good night. xoxo Van.

On the way to New Orleans, I ran into William Hung and his mother on the plane. I just had to get a picture. He was shy and very nice. Click on small pix for a larger version.

Oh, New Orleans in August was very hot and humid. I get to stay on the very top floor of the Sheraton Hotel with the view of the Missississsis(how many s?)pi River. There were small thunderstorms most afternoons... quite a site to see from the full glass wall/window of my room.

I had deep fried food most of the time, and the last night, I was invited to Chef K Paul Restaurant... Now that's real southern food. Wow!

I managed to break away one afternoon and took photos of Dean, this hot local stud. We went on a long ass hike into the wetland. I grabbed a long stick and beat it in front of me to scare away the spiders, snakes and gators since I could not see what I was stepping on. All of this for my book.... all of this for art.
