I will check it out from afar!

Alas, I didn’t win the lottery yet so I won’t be sending you air fare.

I was surprised there will be some talented tattooists there. I love Halo’s work.

Not bad for a first attempt (so far). Harrisburg usually fucks things up royally. (current mayor Linda Thompson is a complete idiot)

This started out like I expected: fucked up.
I got there at 12:25 PM Doors weren’t open yet. (they were to open at 12:00 PM) I got a call from Anthony, my artist. He said to look him up when I got in. They opened at 12:30 PM.
Anthony was originally told that he and his clients would be let in at 11:00 AM. He got in but his early client was not allowed in and he was waiting in line with me. This backed him up and my appointment got bumped to Sunday at 11:00 AM. No outside food vendors were allowed. I got fried chicken fingers and fries for $7.00, and $5.50 for a Yuengling Lager 12oz beer.
I made the rounds and even chatted with most tattoo vendors and it only took 1.5 hours. I’m glad I got a discount because $35.00 for one day really sucks.

Halo’s booth was set up but when I left he wasn’t there yet. (Most likely he’ll be there Saturday and Sunday) (And no girls with painted boobs!)

$35 really? Seattle show is probably about twice the size and they charge $20. Saturday is the day/evening to go

I’m quite sure the Seattle show is more than twice this size. I paid $80.00 for all three days. If I spent all three days there from open to close, I would know the intimate details of most vendors lives, and still have time for a $5.00 hot dog!
