Fuck!

awesome !

tell me about it, would love to get across the pond to this.

Arrrgghhhh. I really want to go. Will try to make it out to this!

im turbo jelly.. a secret base show in CA. its going to be so hot, it will be like a fire sale.

as if being jelly wasn't bad enough

Oh how I wish I was in Southern California this month

I picked a bad time for visiting family in Northern California.

I will be the first to formally confirm on Skullbrain that I will be there.

wish i could make it out but i gotta save the sdcc money.

i will probably check out the show after comic con.

Same here. I can't have any temptations before SDCC. It's bad enough I have to restrain myself from spending on preview night.

a secret base exhibition. someone pinch me!

rsvp?


Gonna swing by.

holy !^%@ i just saw a preview pic of the obake headed boogie man that will be at the show.

and nearly crapped my pants..

whoever snaps him up first, lucky you!

brain..
BOOOM!
splat.

I wouldn't miss this for the world! can't wait!

Sad that this has to be the weekend before the Con, had I of seen a Rebel Ink in the preview though... it would change my feelings and I'd be there in a heartbeat... watch, since I decided to not go... there will be some :/

Time for a photostory (havent done one of these for years):

7:00AM - loading car up for the show. But first a trip to the dentist


7:15AM - pugs not happy. But despite Milhouse using up all my SDCC money, Im just happy he didnt snuff it last week.


10:00AM - dentist done - coffee slurped - unloaded 10 crates oustide a deserted TAG:


10:05AM - 2 in:


10:06AM - 8 to go - trying for a one off, but turns out eight crates of vinyl isnt that light....


Later that day...the TAG team starts prepping the store...and its looking great....


Then THIS GUY turns up

Thanks Carl for that update. Glad you got your stuff over into the show. Can't wait to see the pics from the show.

I really need to go see this Monday or Tuesday when I get back from visiting family. Wish I could be there to hang out with everyone.

can't wait to see that retrospective display carl ! great photo story.

if anyone needs help getting anything in the preview pictures, i may be able to help. pm me for details.

so radical!

thanks for sharing Carl. echoing the excitement of pics for your display and the show.

hope there will be one of just you and Hiddy in front of some of the pieces. (in some OG posed business, that would be RAD..)

Carl, tell me you didn't leave those babies in the hot car while you visited the dentist?

The pictures are insane. Makes me really wish I was in CA right about now

Keep the photos coming
