Just meant who was going, etc. Saw the link last night. Not really impressed by the artist list. Not much talent. Some of the portfolios are downright awful. Longnecker is going to be there, so are you heading out Tattude? I think I'm going to head out on Thursday just for the hell of it.

I go from Thursday till Sunday. This year is a far cry from years past. This used to be THE show.
I remember seeing all lined up Chris Blinston (which is here again this year), Larry Brogan (which is here this year), Brandon Bond, Shane O'neill, Tony Ciavarro, Nick Baxter, Deano Cook, Miami Burgess, Paul Acker, and Mark Longneck and a few other high profile artists.
It used to be amazing! It'll still be fun, lots of great shops are coming and not advertising the artist, so I'm wondering which artists will show from certain shops.

Well I'm almost definitely going to be there Thursday. So do you really think many big name guys are going but not advertising? Not calling you out at all, just curious.

Either way, just want to experience a convention and chill out.

No, the big named artists would advertise. I'm talking about the REALLY good artists that are just as good but haven't made the headlines YET...

Well whatever. I'll settle for watching someone get a sweet tattoo. That was my initial plan anyway. As long as there's something to draaaank.
