Top 10 Favorite U.S. Cities:
Today I was chatting with one of my store managers about music and culture and touring. We talked a bit about my past touring history and he soon asked me which (U.S.) cities were my favorite to visit. Some of my choices were obvious and some I really had to think about… Here’s what I came up with. (Excluding my obvious favorite, Minneapolis.)

Smith Street Tattoo
My best boy Aaron and myself took a little New York City vacation about a month and a half ago. Aaron got some work done at one of the coolest shops in the country, Smith Street Tattoo (Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn). Aaron is an ink junky and tattoo connoisseur so he was more than ecstatic to get a couple pieces done by the OG’s of the biz. I can’t wait to get back out there and get some...
Inspiration: Blue-Collar Backyard
Growing up I loathed the fact I was living in rural Wisconsin. Too many simpletons, I thought. Too many squares. Where was the culture? I felt no one in sleepy west-central Wisconsin had any goals or aspirations. They simply wanted to stay there and do what they had been doing for years, “nothing”.
I later discovered the culture, the integrity, the vigor, the inspiration and the...

one forty plus: Intolerance →
