I based this whole trip home on a Alice Cooper concert and a chance to meet Shep Gordon at a performance scheduled at the Follinger Theater that was on my birthday may 19th. My good friend and co worker Mike McNabb from the Dark Horse Tattoo informed me that he and Jimmy Ditto had a booth at the Devils Hollow Tattoo Convention that same weekend and that I could get his spot on Sunday if I would like? What a blast it was to see some of my Indiana clients and most all of my many tattooer friends back in the Summit City. The vast array of quality shops here in Fort Wayne seem to be unequaled to any other city of it's size I know of... Many great tattooers have come from Fort Wayne. Matt Carmer's Dark Horse was first on the list of shops that I visited during my stay in this tattoo mecca. Next on the list was Donny Manco's New Republic, followed by the Black Anvil, Cardinal, Wildman's and more. The Cooper concert was amazing and I got some close ups of Alice and Hurricane his Hollywood based female lead guitar player who threw me her sweet ass pick!!!
