Well today I went to the Skintech tattoo convention at the Picadilly Hotel in Manchester. Thought I would go along on the train with the my kids. So we get ready, get in the car.. find somewhere to park the car then get pissed wet through walking to the station in the wind and rain. My brolly got so battered on the way that I had to dump it in the bin. Only to find that there are NO trains running on a Sunday!.. Not a one!.. 2007 and we have no trains running...just buses and the next one is not for another hour. FFS!
So.. bollox to sitting on some grubby bus for god knows how long with my two sprogs (there and back).. we get even wetter going back to the car. Get in car.. empty water from shoes and drive bare foot to Manchester.
Well anyhow.. it was worth it when we got there. Loads of exceptionally nice people being tattooed by exceptionally talented artists.. bliss! Kids loved it. Paul Naylor (who is the muts nuts) asked my seven year old if she was 'next' she responded by looking up at me and saying 'let's go!'. My other kid had her photo taken by Skin Deep magazine and will now drive me insane until the issue comes out featuring the expo.. probably to find that they don't publish her pic..grrr.
Anyhow.. if you want to see what we have been up to today pop along to my profile page and see my slideshow under my General Interests section.
