Japan 2012...1710 pictures

I only took 1710 pictures this year in Japan for our trip to the Mooneyes Hot Rod & Custom Show. I'll try and start going through them... We had another amazing time there. We saw all our old friends and keep meeting great new ones. I would saw the show was even better than the 3 previous years i have attended, the bar is perpetually raised by all the builders over there, hats off to you. And hats off to Shige and the whole Moon staff for doing what they do and all the work that goes into pulling off a show this size! I kinda have a clue as what it takes... Mike's Preunit looked amazing as did the rest of the guests bikes. Many of them are our Born-Free 4 builders and award winners which was cool to see it taking them places.

Thanks again to everyone that hung out, took us around, let us into your shop or home! We love you. Now i'm more jazzed than ever to get my '37 UL done!!!

Night of the Vampire

Roky Erickson is on the road and headed this way, he was at the top of his game last time i saw him in Dallas a year or two ago. Don't miss it.
All of Roky's music has influenced many bands over the past 40 years from the legendary 13th Floor Elevators Psychedelic Sounds Of album in 1966 (reportedly the first use of the word Psychedelic when it came to music) to his later stuff with the Aliens, etc, when he thought he was posesed, check any or all of it out.



13th Floor Elevators You're Gonna Miss Me


Later Roky



One of my other favorite bands, Spacemen 3, were big fans of Roky (and the MC5!).
