BILL LEVIN PRESENTS: Got Flyers?

I have put this off for years... but here goes my first attempt.

I am trying to collect under 1 roof as many different "BILL LEVIN PRESENTS" flyers as I can. Now I just need someone (AHEM, Er.... Jeb) to show me were and how to upload and stash all this for everyone to view.

Thanks for being there everyone. Now let's see if we can retrace our steps.

CHEERS!

At 7:24pm on June 23rd, 2008, Jyl Freed said…: Awwww, thanks for all,Bill .... you are too kind! Aside from conjuring the horrific image of Crockett in a thong. GAH! I may take you up on that ad - I'll let you know. Truth is, we try to not play up the tattoo thing, cuz it's not very lucrative in respect to the time spent vs. the incoming dollars. And then there's the sad truth that a lot of folks who get tattoos are fiscally - and generally - irresponsible. There are exceptions, but we've gotten stiffed on a few tattoo designs, even when we charged next to nothing for them. But we don't have a problem with anyone lifting existing artwork from DBT records or the web, as long as they get a good artist who remains true to Wes's work and doesn't try to "make it their own" - that's BS. Wes don't charge squat for a painting, and he isn't rich or famous (yet), but he's still got a few people that unashemdly ape his work, including for cd cover art, and that's weird. On one hand, it's a great compliment. On the other, it's like, "Go get your own style, MuthaFuckah!" Yanno?

Ah well, tough tooties. I should (and do) count my blessings. That's wild about Sheri - and thanks for the update, I was going to ask. I'll bet she does look wonderful, too. Now, the big corporate dealio - that doesn't surprise me. She always was brilliant, and definitely knows how to manipulate a situation - and I mean that in a good way - she's not snakey at all, she's a sweetie - just savvy, is all. The home decor & lifestyle thing, that does surprise me. Wasn't it you who coined "Never Be Normal" ?

Speaking of Sheri - what's the latest on Jon E.E. Quest - tell him I said "Hey" if you see him.

As for kids, LOL - NO! HAIL NO!!! I don't want any!! L - the only thing I have done right is manage to avoid havin' kids - I don't plan on blowing it now. That said, I'm sure yours are awesome - how many you got, what's the scoop on all of them? I hope they appreciate what an awesome Daddy they have.

Do you take them to that deli you & your Daddy used to go to every Saturday?

But also, the beginning part is your old pal Dave Brockie from GWAR. The first link is the t.v. feature video, the second link is 2 minutes worth of outtakes - the Brockie hard on story is amusing...

At 6:07pm on June 23rd, 2008, Jyl Freed said…: My Love ! So good to see you again - and congrats on wife # "The Last". My husband has 2 ex wives and I always say that I'm "Mrs. Freed the Last". We were at a party once and I was gossiping about his second wife to his first wife. He looks at the guys he's talking to and sez, "My third wife is talking to my first wife about my second wife - is it any wonder I became a country singer?" True dat.

Hey Sugar, that leopard suit looks fantastic on you - and you look fantastic period. You are one suave motherfucker, Bill, you still got "it". Is that Allison with you ? Whoever it is, she is babe-babe-babel-ishus. And I have excellent taste in woman, as you know. ;-) Seriously, other than Johnny Thunders (and yes, I knew that you couldn't stand him - I don't know anyone who knew him who could...) I can't think of ANYBODY who could pull off wearing that suit, but goddam if you not only pull it off, but you shine, man, you shine. God I love that suit, and I'm not a fan of leopard prints - just real live leopards.

I'll pester you more later - I have loads of free time & am usually bored out of my skull, so this place is a Godsend for me, but I know you're busy, so I'll try to go easy on you.

Awesome that you can make a good living on tattoo equipment - we're sorta in that line of work ourselves - not by choice, but... Wes is an artist, he does all the artwork for the band Drive-by Truckers, and he created this bird for them. Well damn if their fans don't love that thing, and we're always getting email with photos of people who got Wes Freed ink on them recently. It's kinda freaky, knowing that hundreds of people we've never met are wearing his artwork for life. Anywhooziedoodles, besides commissioned paintings, he also gets frequent requests for custom tattoos, fwiw. Just thought I'd share. I love you back, Sweetheart - think of you often, and oh so very fondly. Big, big hugs and kisses to you!!

I don't have the insurance to work on trees in Marion County.
I've been doing that work around here since the storms as I average $200.00/hour+ but now my knee is so swollen I can hardly walk. I've contracted for work I have to do so I've been working anyway. Now the doc tells me I need an operation to put my knee back together.
I hate to pass up that work though. If there are buildings nearby I run a risk of being jailed for fraud if a tree were to slab and fall on it. Without insurance I'd go to jail with my record.
That's like having a fresh hot plate of surf & turf under my nose for a second, then having it snatched away!:-D
I appreciate you thinking of me but I sold my big saws.
In Aspen I generally planted trees, I moved big trees hand dug out of the decaying granit and basalt. I could make more than ten grand moving one tree to a customers property and keeping it alive for the three years I guaranteed,.

If it's something that I could do next week without worry of property damage. I'd come down tomorrow and give an estimate.

Thanks for thinking of me though!

BTW I got through the night with oxy, methadone and muscle relaxers..

At 11:39pm on June 21st, 2008, Scott Applegate said…: The genisis of that nickname came from a cretinous tub of lard known as Hoghead. One or two who needn't be named continue using it to bolster an insecure yet overblown ego.
Hoghead targeted me as I was a less competent supplier. It was used when the guys were angry at me which was often.

Anyway no offense as long as it doesn't propagate.

This is a great fucking community! I hope it's spirit remains as much fun as it's started out to be.

See you around
