Since last Tuesday I have been prepping, and painting a building (something I never done. I painted my house with an airless so what the hell...yeah I'll paint the building, 5,000 sqft) it's in the downtown area over here in Fresno, then I will paint their sign on it. So I was pretty beat on my birthday. Like most of you, I always read the BB like the morning/evening paper. Anyway I noticed a few more replies cool...
My lady friend who has been helping me on this project is burned out and crashed out early. Sooooo...here I am Saturday night, replying on the good ole BB.
After reading what Sonny Franks wrote, I get out the dictionary, because at first I thought it sounds like a some sort of a cat. I wanted to get out of this worned out working mode...I toss in Sonny's Bodacious Blues CD, pour myself a Tecate and some Clamato juice in a chilled mug, little lime. As I write amigo number 5 is on...Payday, it's a bad ass cd.
but I also want to take this time to say thanks to Ray Rheaume, for the many returns. I met you in Petaluma saw you were a man of many talents, and a great conversationist, great seeing you again at the Dixie. Thanks for the pleasure to get you on video footage you're an awesome artist!
It's midnight right now, so I am going to answer in the next fifthteen minutes, I need to crash out, got a wall to do...
Cat, I told some ladies that Blonde joke about the river how to get to the other side, they didn't laugh, I thought it was funny...
Dale my man, you are a dynamite artist. When I saw the photo with you and Jeff I felt very honored, but was too burned out to reply. So I'll say it here, thanks again buddy. It was a pleasure to have met you and paintin up the Falstaff mural. You really tripped out the people with the faux bricks
Mike Faig, great meeting you too bro, Letterhead Meets are the bomb
Barb, La Reina de Letterville. It's always great to see you and Steve!
Jill, beautiful...munchas gracias, there was nothin nasty about it. Love you too
Jake, right on bro...
