Here at Sinner HQ we always look forward to the Brighton Tattoo Convention. It’s always packed with tattoo fans eager to get stuck in to some new ink at the start of the year.

As always the convention is superbly organised and run. Everything we artists need is looked after with efficient ease and it makes the whole weekend so enjoyable. (Other show organisers take note… it’s not hard to provide the basics)

Being January of course it’s gonna be cold, but once inside it’s warm and cosy and so full of bodies it’s hard to stay chilly for long. The Sinners were based upstairs in a sweet spot just as you went in the room and our booth was always jammed with people checking out the tattoos and stuff for sale. Must have been a lot of guitar players about, ‘cos we shifted a fair few Seven Sins plectrums over the weekend!

For us the weekend went in the blink of an eye and was over too quick! We all agreed it was an outstanding convention and we’re already looking forward to next year!

Time for a whinge!

I’ve been doing this blog for a while now, happily tapping away on my keyboard, hoping to write stuff that someone out there might enjoy reading. So every day I get the comments on my posts emailed in and at first I was encouraged that there were quite a few. Wicked! I thought, nice to get feedback. Then I started to notice an increase in the junk comments and realised that most of these comments are posted by people or companies that are only interested in getting advertising or porn! Some are just long streams of utter gobbledegook (phew that was hard!) that have no relation to anything, let alone english!

Now they’re really starting to piss me off – there’s so many – every day. Honestly you wouldn’t believe it… everything from Christian Dating(!) to Romance Academy (findmesomeone.org!) to Discount Shoes to any kind of bloody insurance you can think of! Fuck me, it’s a joke. What I want to know is WHY? What do you think they hope to get out of it? Apart from just filling my trash they’re totally wasting cyber space.

So my message to you ‘so called bloggers’ – who ain’t, is FUCK OFF! Just stop it and let the real people who have valid comments to make – make them.
