Lost in America
Saturday, January 28th, 2006Kathy and I departed Portland, Oregon on Friday morning around 9AM and with the exception of a couple pit-stops and typical breaks, drove straight through to Sacramento. The 600 miles took a bit longer than I had anticipated, rolling us into Sacramento close to 11PM. We stopped in on Gabe from Artool Products for a two-day layover. Gabe offered us a place to park and catch up on some much needed rest. We watched a couple movies (including the 1985 classic “Lost In America”, starring Albert Brooks and Julie Hagerty), and talked a lot about art, and before I forget… enjoyed some great fish and chips and a cold brew at an english style pub in Sac called The Streets of London. Gabe and I have been there before, but it was about four years ago, so I was ready for an overdue return. I was glad that it was as good as I remembered.
Gabe did share a couple things with us that he’s excited about; namely, the forthcoming Pin-Up Girlies 2 templates by Deborah Mahan, the Tiki Master templates by Dennis Mathewson, and the Tribal Master templates by Steve Vandemon. There’s also a special limited edition of Kustom templates in the works designed by Craig Fraser. It’ll include a special template not available anywhere else. I’m also told that black etched leather is involved (very cool). Look for it in the fall, but remember, you heard it here first. There’s also some new Lavallee templates in the works - more True Fire for you fans of flame. It seems there’s a lot of kewl stuff happening at Artool’s Chemtox Labs. But a lot of what they’re developing is top secret for now,
