New DBB Tattoo: Aussie Edition
First, I just wanted to update you on my life. I have been in Vegas for the last two days and things have been pretty crazy. They have lived up to the hype of the AVN porn weekend madness that one expects from this insane trip. I will have pretty crazy pictures next week. I have slept even less than I normally sleep and I am sort of losing it. The wifi at my hotel is fucking horrible so updating my site has been next to impossible. I am fighting through this shit now. I really hope I am going to be able to upload the pictures below. It took me forever to update my Tumblr but you should check it as there are a couple of crazy pics over there. Hopefully I will be all settled by Monday and will have time to edit and start uploading pictures…
Now, to the meat of this update. My friend Rhiannon was visiting the US from Australia for New Years and decided to get a Driven By Boredom tattoo. Of all the people with the tattoo she has been reading Driven By Boredom the longest. When I first started DBB about 10 years ago I was actively involved in a community of some of the first bloggers. People who ran what was then called E/N sites or “Everything/Nothing” sites. They were the first people just blogging about bullshit. Rhiannon was part of that scene and I talked to her almost daily online for years. About two years ago she came to the states and wanted to meet some of the people she had been talking with for years including another Rhiannon who I actually went to college with. I hung out with them then and we had a little web reunion with some people and it was a lot of fun. This time she came back and I ended up spending a few days with the Rhiannon’s and Aussie Rhi wanted to get a tattoo to commemorate her trip and she thought the DBB tattoo would sort of sum up the weird several years of her life when she was actively blogging and engaged in a community of geeky strangers all over the world. And I was happy to oblige her and we headed over to Glamour Garage and hit up the amazing Jess Versus got that shit done.
