Well, hell.

Besides picking the wrong career, I’m a master at bad decisions.

In the meantime, a new Monster Magnet album is about to be released, so at least we’ve got that going for us.

One important item of note is that the clock is still ticking on the long sleeved woolie project;

Even though the store’s down, I can still take orders via PayPal to stevil(at)allhailtheblackmarket(dot)com.

All I need is $150 plus $10.00 shipping and handling, (a bit more for international orders) plus a proper shipping address and you can get in the queue.

*Also- I just got this little number right here, and you can get it that way;

Since this is a time sensitive matter, I can’t very well put this project on hold while I figure out what the hell happened with the site’s nuts and bolts.

For that matter, I can take orders for anything in the store that way, if you feel inclined to remember what it was in there that you wanted.

Moving on- some months ago, I unveiled this Blue Collar bike which Robert Ives graciously built for me for a top secret project;

I wasn’t at liberty to discuss the details of said project then, nor am I now.

What I can say is that as you are reading these words, I’m rocketing in a southerly direction with it securely affixed to the back of my truck in order to take part in an event called The Rock Cobbler, which as I understand will look something like this video here;

-Or if you will- these images here;

Seeing as the glitch in my site is growing by leaps and bounds with each passing day, and my tech Yoda is currently out of contact while she treks around the Grand Canyon, it’s probably good timing that I should take my leave and flog the (unholy) living hell out of myself for a few days.

The upshot of all of this, is I told the powers that be they were clearly mistaken when contacting me for this project, but not only wouldn’t they listen, but they wouldn’t take no for an answer.

Assuming I might have a functioning website by then, I’ll be back by Wednesday the 14th and will assuredly have tales to tell.

If you happen to come across my carcass out there in the great wide expanses, help me to raise a hand for a slap.

It will be then when I tell you if I did in fact make a bad decision.
