TATTOO CONVENTION.
External link:
My friend David B. is a very famous tattoo artist, and he is in Florida for the weekend for a tattoo convention. So, I went with him yesterday and saw the convention, and watched it walk by his booth. I know that anything I say about it (other than that people into body art are a very tolerant, accepting community, and that much of the body art is objectively beautiful) would piss him off. And certainly, that bit in the parentheses is true. But for me, I repeatedly got the same queer feeling that I get when I see the freak show in Coney Island. And when I say that I get that feeling, I'm not trying to say anything about the people there; I'm just saying something about me.
Oh, guess who I walked past while I was at the convention! Ron Jeremy, the famous porn star! I was going to ask him to autograph my chest, but he walked off into another room for some kind of photo or film shoot. I saw they had those silver colored umbrellas with lights shining into them that I associate with photography or video, but I won't presume to speculate about what they might have been filming there. This is The Official Record.
