the ims show is becoming a bigger and bigger deal for skidmark garage with every passing minute.  i now have a 10x10 booth, i will be speaking on the progressive stage, there will be two bikes owned by skidmark members on display in the vintage bike section, there will be two bikes in the build contest that are owned by skidmark members (one was totally built here), skidmark is hosting the afterparty friday night, and i was just given a spot to put a bike in the shift area of the ims show.  the ims crew is gonna shoot some video of the garage and do some interviews with me and/or a member, and they're gonna kick the skidmark name around in their ads and social media posts as being a part of shift.

add to this pj and jordan being in the competition, and i feel like the skidmark garage name will be on tips of many tongues throughout the weekend.  i'm nervous, excited, and starting to get stressed about being able to deliver.  luckily, pj is gonna let me use his enclosed trailer to haul bikes and stuff back and forth.

my brother, dave, came and hung out all day, today.  it was great to hang out with him.  we didn't get shit done, like i had planned, but nonetheless it was great.  he said he's gonna come back next friday and help set up the show.  i SO need the help.

tim is gonna be here to help thursday and then hopefully through the weekend.  it is shows like this that his value is apparent.  thanks zeus he and neener are around.

mark took photos of a complete tool bench so i can print it and hang it in the back of the booth rather than bringing that entire bike tool bench.  it could be the biggest hassle on the planet.  if i can get this banner printed and in-hand in time...holy time savings!

last night was pretty slow, but the night before was killer.  karl, jt, elliott, jordan, and al were all here at the same time.  it was heaven.  it's what i've always pictured this place to be.  now i just gotta get some money rolling in this shit...
