Here goes another picture of me standing atop the legendary Hippie Hill in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, taken by an awesome photographer from New Zealand named Jonathan Clark. I'm uploading it as a reference for some art I need done soon.

I thought so too, Jonathan is an amazing photographer... I think the raccoon form of this picture will make a great next solo album cover.
Sorry the West Coast didn't work out. I almost moved to the Bay Area myself, but I got scared off by the absolutely lethal level of gentrification.
It's all good man, wasn't meant to be, I had some fun there but I also saw a lot of fucked up shit. The ruthless gentrification of San Francisco in particular has turned the entire fucking city into some weird yuppie socialist nightmare with hardly any middle ground between homeless schizos and rich ass code developers. Most of the real artists I met lived in Oakland, which is where I was actually hiding out most of the time. I'm perfectly happy living in NW Arkansas again where basic self-defense is still legal and now so is gay marriage. :P
Self defense is also legal here in Oregon (and the open carry laws are looser than Arkansas, surprisingly), and the rich yuppie types don't mix with the real socialists or anarchists so much.
I find California's problem is that it's everyone's project, everyone's focus, and everyone's goal and dream, so it turns out to be nobody's dream when it's all said and done because so many factions are vying for control. But that's always kind of been the case (without revealing too much, I remember the Bay Area from a time before I was actually born).
Also, the culture in Cali is just so much more jaded and cynical. Cynicism goes a long way to making a place shitty.

Yeah I know, and it STILL gets me creeped on from time to time too. :P
That baby face! Lol. I am going to fucking kill this. I have ideaaasss.... and that is a dangerous thing.
This is my favorite picture of you, you look like you're preparing to clock someone with that bass.
I got some sketches planned out. Expect a call sometime this weekend! I just gotta get the nerves up to use the damn cell phone.

Heheheh, let's just say all of my instruments serve a wide variety of neat little purposes... Can't wait to see the sketches, I PM'd you my new number because the old one is dead.
When I enlarge the picture, I see everything above your waist. Then after I scroll down, I am disappointed that I do not see a kilt.
Wow great photo. I used to live in that Park for many years; great place. Awesomely taken photo.
