Started reading the books a decade ago. Frustratedly waiting for more!
The series is about as good as a TV interpretation is going to get.
I was going to get the Stark sigil tattooed on my leg, still thinking about it.
The only thing i dislike is the Ironmen. They seem totally superfluous to the story.
I can't wait to see the Red Wedding. :D

Hahaha damn its sold out!

Well I'm old school. Grew up with Sabbath and Priest, and that's who I still listen to. Also love newer stuff like Avenged Sevenfold.

I got tattooed by Deno at Kings Ave NYC yesterday. It was an awesome experience. Will have a picture later.

Opeth is my favorite band.

Already in there! :D

Just saw this thread, i'll give it a whirl.
My name is Dave, i'm 46, born and lived always in NYC.
Spent the 80's as a metalhead (so much hair, thank you Stiff Stuff) and spent most of my time at concerts clubs, and getting stoned in various back alleys and parks. :p
Got married in '90, had our one kid in '92. We have 5 cats and a Shepherd/Dobie mix dog.
For a living i manage paper, printing and budgeting of both, for a large marketing company. I read alot, play guitar badly, am into ancient Egyptian everything, and a huge hockey fan.
Got my first tattoo at 15, but it was a sewing needle and testors ink scratch job while we were wasted. It's 99% gone now. I'd always wanted to get a real one, but life happened and i guess i forgot about it, till a few years ago. Once i'd gotten one, i caught the bug and i'm working on my 6th now.
Now i'm just trying to age gracefully and still be a metalhead. \m/

Okay...
I'm elderly. 58, born and raised in Chicago, specifically on the South Side and later, the collar suburbs. Left home at 13, was put into a "youth home" at 15, got out and roamed the country and points south at just shy of 18. Before I was 21 I had lived or spent hunks of time in Mexico, Columbia, el-Lay, and some other garden spots.
Trained as a machinist, and worked in shops for many years, now I sell machine equipment made in Germany, to customers from Brazil to Thailand.
Got my first real motorsickle when I was 10, a Sears Allstate 49 cc. My next one was a 1947 Knucklehead that I bought as a collection of parts in a basket and made into a chopper...that was when I was 18. Wrecked it and myself shortly after, and didn't ride again until I bought a Shovelhead in 1977...still got that one, but I don't ride anywhere near as much as I used to did-arthritis and kids and all of that. Anyhow, I rebuild and restore old Harleys on occasion to relax myself.
Started putting on my own tattoos when I was what, I think maybe 13, something like that, and spent a good amount of time at CTC watching Cliff Raven and Dale Grande work, and then getting my homemade stuff covered. I have a few tattoos now, but I'm afraid I'm not a general collector-I've gotten all my work form people working at CTC. Dale, Miles Maniaci, Nick Collela, and onoe by Mark Miller.
Other than that, I've been into martial arts since I started taking Jiu-Jitsu at the local Y when I was 8. I've boxed for the Chicago Park District, and studied a variety of different arts. I was involved with the same federation of schools for about 25 years, studying and teaching a mixture of arts. Still own my own school, and teach classes 3 nights a week. Keeps me from getting too old.
That's about it, pretty boring. I listen to mostly the blues, some of what is now called "classic rock", Hendrix, the Doors, like that, and actually saw most of the name bands of the 60's and 70's play. But my heart is with the blues. What I grew up listening to...kinda schizophrenic on that, actually, listened to a lot of old hillbilly music as a kid, and still do. Not 'country", but hillbilly and rockabilly. Merle Haggard, Jim Reeves, Jack Scott, all that type of thing. Then when I left the house, it was Muddy Waters, Junior Wells, Otis Rush, and Howlin'Wolf. I've sat and had drinks with most of them over the years, back before they were all famous and like that.
So now I'm elderly, but I sure can't relate to it. Yeah, arthritis and shit, but hey-basically I'm just a couple of 16 year-olds with a 26 year-old built in for a chaperone. Still getting tattoo'ed, still trying to live life-and largely succeeding. Got divorced a few years ago after being married 35 years, and am now with a Lady that shares my life, my home, and my heart. Have 6 kids to keep me on my toes, from 14 to 25, and an 8 year-old granddaughter that is truly a pain in my, er, that I love dearly.
That is all.

Laphroaig is my favourite scotch ever--it is my go-to "comfort" drink--but as it's one of the smoky ones it definitely isn't for everybody. But if you like the taste of smokiness, then it is probably the most accessible of that kind of scotch, and I love it to pieces and can't wait til I bring a barrel back from the UK when I am there next week.

They live in an assisted living apartment, which is still standing, but also has no power and flooded. They were evac'd to a rehab facility in Neptune, which also has no power, still. It's going to be weeks before they can go home and we still can't get to them.
They finally, today have a little generator power rationed to them, so they have a space heater in their room. They're going a bit loopy though, having not showered in a week and still wearing the same clothes. At least they're being fed, and are physically ok. Mentally, it's been tough on them, they're starting to not make much sense on the phone.
Wife is going to try to get through today now that the train is running to Long Branch.

PS. Is it wrong that i was happier to see NY Adorned and Kings Ave Manhattan Facebook posts that they got power back, than my neighbors post?

It's entertaining, if you watch it for reasons other than seeing good tattoos.

That shit gives me a borderline anxiety attack. BUT, you're right, lots of awesome food and can be fun if you just put your blinders on.

Yes- every time a friend shows me an 'awesome' tattoo and I break down why it's bad, I get called a tattoo snob (not every tattoo they show me is bad, but when I say one is, tattoo snob). I get called tattoo crusader when I rail on about kitchen wizards.

I can't help but stare sometimes, because i'm digging the tattoo i'm seeing. Just remember, some of the people staring at you might also be tattooed, but non-visible, and are amazed by yours.
I never say anything though, it just feels rude to me, but i don't mind if someone asks about mine. Just mind your fuckin manners like ya mama taught ya! :p

The only reason i knew about this is because my 87 yr old father in law, who lives on the boardwalk a block from the convention center, called me as soon as he saw it posted. He became fascinated with tattoos as soon my wife and I started getting them.
I'm going to a pirate christmas pool party (yes, really) on Saturday, but hoping to get down there for Sunday.

I live within walking distance of True Blue, and i've never been. Now i've gotta go check it out.
