Good to finally get a chance to talk to you and we are happy you ’ re gonna be in our booth in Colorado in June . Do you like conventions ? I do but it ’ s expensive to get to the shows . You have airfare , hotels etc and it ’ s to the point where I have to bring an assistant , so my first few tattoos are paying for the weekend so that ’ s one thing to take into consideration . I feel like a politician at conventions ; holding babies and taking pictures . I feel bad , people come out and want to say hello and I want to be nice and finally get the chance to say what ’ s up , and that ’ s great , but don ’ t get me wrong , I don ’ t want to be a complainer , but putting on the gloves I have to get big enough tattoos to make enough money on them to do these shows . I don ’ t want to come off like a little bitch but that ’ s the business part of it .
You and I have something in common . We both have panic disorders so I wanted to talk about what you have done to get past that .
