<br />
A few tips to remember when uploading your tattoo/license plate picture<br />
<br />
1. Pick the primary category (Tattoo/Plate)<br />
2. Pick the secondary category (Firedancer, Plate, Dreaming Tree, etc)<br />
3. Make sure your picture is facing up. (not sideways or upsidedown)<br />
4. Make sure your picture is a clear, & a close up shot. (no far away fuzzy pics)<br />
<br />
This helps me approve and post your submissions faster. It also allows others to see your beautiful artwork up close and in detail.<br />
<br />
Thank you! <br />
Peace and Cheers<br />

I got a firedancer tattoo in the winter of 2005 and remember seeing other tattoos on sites like AntsMarching.org and many defunct boards like Nancies etc. So I decided to post a few threads asking people to submit their tattoos to me because I was starting a website collection of them. Slowly the collection grew. We added plates after Debbie at dmbrr.com closed up shop. We now feature over 2,200 Tattoos and almost 400 license plates from all over the world; all 50 states and over a dozen countries.<br />
<br />
I want to say thank you for the support over the years. I used to hand out paper fliers at shows to people with tattoos back in the early years, then I upgraded to stickers, then nicer stickers, posters, lanyards ticket holders, and more stickers, all trying to market the site. If it wasn't for great fans helping spread the word, the site wouldn't be what it is today, so thanks.<br />
<br />
The best part about operating the site is meeting other fans with tattoos (and without). The stories mean the most. I have been told countless stories about what an individuals tattoo means to them; everything for simply the love of the band to memorial artwork that brings me to tears. It is amazing the connection and personal details people share with me about their ink. I will continue to help and inspire those who wish to get a permanent reminder of this band. Thank you for the opportunity.<br />
<br />
I am very fortunate and am happy to have met many of my best friends and my wife because of this. <br />
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!<br />
<br />
Cheers to many years to come,<br />

<br />
I recently added about 20 new tattoos and plates to the site! Check em out! There are some more that need editing as well so those will be up soon. With that said, when you submit your picture please be sure that it is facing right side up! If its upside down I have to save it and re-submit it myself. Also make sure if you take a picture in a mirror that lyrics aren't backwards! Have a friend help you!<br />
<br />
Due to many requests we have brought back a limited edition of our DMBTattoo.com ticket holder lanyards. There are only 50 of each color and will surely sell out quickly. Check them out in the store! Thanks for the support, all monies go back into operation and maintenance of DMBTattoo.com<br />
<br />
Have a great day! Cheers!<br />

Boyd Tinsley
Interview Part 2</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We had an opportunity to sit down with Boyd Tinsley in
Chicago after the show to follow up on Faces in the Mirror and some other
questions...here is what happen:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
12/5/2012<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>11:37PM</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DMBTattoo: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now that Faces in the Mirror has been out for a while, how
has the feedback been for you personally?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Boyd Tinsley:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>It's been really
cool, really special, from the very beginning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Somehow I got to the point to expect really beautiful things to come
from this movie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Its been that way for
four years. What's happened and the way it happened I could never had imagined.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everywhere it goes it sprouts love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Love amongst my twitter followers who were
really brought together though this movie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Through Narnia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Which almost goes
hand and hand with this movie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That's
who is really out there spreading the word about this movie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Its been a thing of love man.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have had these events all over the
country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You know they are free, for the
most part. It's about sharing the art with people to experience this movie
together particularly on the big screen because this is a big screen
movie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Especially on a theatre sound
system as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It sounded f*cking
awesome when we played it in the AMC in Pittsburgh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was awesome! That was the first time
I<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>had seen it in a regular movie theatre.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That's what it was made for!! I was so psyched!
Yes we did it!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DMBTattoo: You already kind of answered my next question
regarding the grass roots of spreading the word with this movie, but what's
next for Boyd Tinsley, the producer?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BT: I'm going to continue on with this movie and try to do
creative things with music in conjunction with it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have the soundtrack out now. So now the
whole musical element is out now which is almost separate from the movie
itself, when you separate it, it's an album.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They are two separate things almost.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It's like another branch that has sprouted out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What happens from here man, I don't know, I
definitely want to do another movie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When? I don't know.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's going to
be like one of those times, just like everything else in my life, like oh now it's
time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It just comes in a moment, but
that moments been years in the making and preparing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That's the way we did this movie which is
insane to do it for that amount of time, to just wait for the magic to
happen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But it just kept happening over
and over and over so we always expect just amazing stuff to happen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I honestly don't know. The only thing I know
is I want to continue to put this movie out in front of people and let it
spread from people to people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was
amazing in Pittsburgh, I was so surprised.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I thought there would be 15-20 people .<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I went in there and was like holy sh*t! There was 150-200 people<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>there, I had no idea! Where did these people
come from! I had no idea.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Its spreading,
just like how DMB spread.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were
grassroots we had fans come in tape our shows, send em around and we started
the same way. So that what I know is taking it to the people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don't know any other way to do this, in an
honest way.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DMBTattoo: Its been a great start so far, everyone loves it,
keep it up and we will help as much as we can.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Got a few more here for ya.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DMBTattoo: What's your favorite new song to play form the
new album?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BT: I like that one, Rooftop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I like Drunken solider too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That's a fun one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I like the Riff.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DMBTattoo: I gotta ask ya, I run the DMBTattoo website and I
failed to ask you last time but...do you have a tattoo?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BT: No, where should I get one? What should it be?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DMBTattoo: I was going to ask you! What would you get if you
ever got one?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BT:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What would I get?
I'm not gonna tell you...it's interesting I don't know.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DMBTattoo: What do you think about the fans, the basis of my
site, we have 1600 tattoos, all 50 states, 14 countries, all related to Dave
Matthews Band.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some are of your
signature.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How do you feel when you sign
someones arm and a day later they email it to me tattooed on their arm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fans go to this level, how does it make you
feel?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BT:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's intense
man.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's really cool.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's something I've never experienced
before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In all these years no one has
tattooed my signature.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DMBTattoo: Oh there are several of yours! Next time you sign
someones arm they may go get that tattooed!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BT: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Actually this
summer I do know of a few.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some have done
it since I've been on twitter, starting with Andy Benedetto. It's cool man, it's
wow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You have this eternal connection
with this person, part of you, on them for life. It's an intense feeling but it's
also sort of a bonding thing, it really is.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DMBtattoo: Well thanks to you and the band I have seen some
really creative and unique tattoos so thank you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Keep on signing people and they will keep
getting me tattooed!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BT: I think about tattoos a lot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just can never decided exactly what I
want.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is something first I do want,
I don't know man.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DMBTattoo: If you could play with any musician that you have
never played with before, who would it be?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BT:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Um...that's the
thing, that's a short list! The artist I would love the band to do something
with is Stevie Wonder. I would love to do a show with him, or have him come out
and sit in with us.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DMBtattoo: Finally, what does Boyd Tinsley want for
Christmas?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BT: Not much...not much.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Mostly Peace and love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Presents
are presents. They are cool . The thought of it is great, but the actual thing
is just a thing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Half the things you get
you put em away and lose em. Bring em out years later and say oh yeah i
got<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>this for Christmas. Those are
presents.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But the thing that is cherish
able for ever is just love. Not taking everything for granted. Not taking life
for granted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just know that every time
we have the opportunity for love, and we get love it's a beautiful thing to be
cherished. There's a lot of fuc*ing non-love, negativity, evil in the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's either one or the other.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To me, just being with these twitter
followers and Narnia followers has opened my heart in a big way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's given me courage to love more.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

7/7/2012 7:00PM, Alpine Valley Music Theatre</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Recently,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>we had the
opportunity to sit down with Boyd Tinsley before he hit the stage at Alpine
Valley to ask a few fan questions and discuss his upcoming film, Faces in the
Mirror.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here is what happen: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DMBTattoo.com:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So tell us the gist of the movie, we have seen the previews
and the BT behind the scenes video on YouTube, but just talk about the movie a
little bit.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Boyd Tinsley:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's
just an idea that sort of hit me one night to do this movie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Making a movie was something I've wanted to
do for about 15 years and I have thought about the way I was going to go about
it over that time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The way I really
wanted to do it was have it based around music.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So we started off with music, we had a story about this guy named Ben,
whose Dad had passed. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He came back for
the funeral, but he and his Dad had a falling out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When he was small his Dad was a workaholic
and was away a lot so he didn't see him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So he became bitter and when he grew up he never saw his father until on
his father's death bed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the day of that
funeral he goes through this dreamlike odyssey where he meets a lot of people,
very interesting people that are sort of like guides to him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It takes course of one night, one complete
day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's a journey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I won't go beyond that, but it's a complete dream.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a joy to make, it's a beautiful movie,
beautifully shot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has great actors,
the lead Ryan Orr, [he is] just really expressive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The movie doesn't have a lot of dialog in it.
For me the most important thing about a movie is the feeling, I love the
feeling I get from a movie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just the way
the scenes make me feel, like in Star Wars when the ship comes out in the very
beginning, you know this is going to be good and you feel it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love that ship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You had great music in that movie too, John Williams
is a great composer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You had great
music and you had great movie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When you
put those things together its huge and that's what I wanted to happen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wanted to have great music and a great
movie put that together and I wanted to get those chills.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That's what we did.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That was my guide post for making this movie,
every scene I have to get the chills and it has to have big moments when things
really burst into this huge explosion of emotion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So that's where I come from as a film
maker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We made this film, it took a lot
of belief and a lot of faith to a make a film where we did not know how it was
going to turn out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To me like in music I
like taking one idea and just sort of expanding on it and seeing where it
goes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like creating a story and ride it
and see where it goes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just like in this
movie, I didn't want to have the complete story, I wanted only part of the
story and just let it start.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I knew as
it went along we would figure out what the story was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a 3 year process to make this movie
but all through this time we were all thinking about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The major players, me, the directors, the
producers, everybody was thinking about this, this whole time and we were like
yes this and we knew exactly what do .<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It was cool and was really a cool thing for us to discover what this
movie was in the end.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DMBTattoo: What did you feel producing/acting, what was the biggest
challenge for you in each of the roles?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BT: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did have to
learn a lot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The music producing I had
done before at least on one occasion. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
was exposed to that to a degree, but then, producing a movie, of course I had
never done that before but like you said I had to learn as we went along. I
never really studied film making in the sense of how you make a film.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just knew what I wanted to get out of the
film and I knew a way to get that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I
just followed that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The challenge was
everything to a degree, but honestly the biggest challenge was because I pretty
much had to spent every day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every day
off, sometimes days we were on, You know I have a gig, I was editing music or
doing some aspect of the film and have to be away from my kids.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Honestly that's the hardest thing, I work so
much with the band and with this movie so I am away a lot so honestly missing
my kids is the hardest thing. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everything
is else is, yes its hard work but I love what I do and I don't mind that. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DMBTattoo:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Looking
forward, assuming the success of this film, where do you want to take this? Do
you want to produce more?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What do you
want to do next? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BT:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I absolutely want
to do more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What we are going to do with
this movie after the premiere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is
an idea I first had was take it into music venues and theatres.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wanted to do it a few scenes maybe every
week or so, and have a band play.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then
have this music film thing going on and introduce a new scenes every time and
then show the entire movie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are going
to do that after this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are going to
take the movie on tour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Show the movie
and have a band playing as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will
probably have musicians from the soundtrack as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will take it directly to the fans.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I guess I always knew I would have to make a
movie myself but also I didn't want to have to have a third party to get it to people.
What's <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the wait, put it in music venues,
that's my home and bring in bands and then that's the way we will do it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So we will do that and beyond that I think if
enough mass appeal happens on this grass roots level, I would love for it to be
in theatres.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's a movie that's made
for the big screen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had this event in
Philly and I saw it on the biggest screen that I saw so far and I was like holy
cow, I couldn't believe! It was really cool man. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DMBTattoo: We can't wait to see it, you have leaked a little
but about a Chicago date on August 2?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BT: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's going to
premier in Seattle on August 30.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are going
to have an event where we show a scene from the movie, like this bonfire scene,
then the trailer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A question and answer
and a band.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I'll bring somebody from DMB
with me, we had Rashawn in NY and we have Jeff this time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are still working on plans for Chicago.
But it's definitely going to happen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
am looking forward to that. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DMBTattoo: Can you tell us which venue it will be at for
Chicago?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BT: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are still
nailing down those plans, we will have that all sorted out by the beginning of
next week but we are all really excited about that. </div>

DMBTattoo:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being a
new twitter member, how has your experience been?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The amount of interaction you have had with
fans has had to be overwhelming, but what do you think?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BT:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Its really cool
man.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love talking to fans.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like in the early days I used to spend a lot
of time outside kicking it with fans and talking to them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So the bigger you get, you get more removed
from fans sometimes in the way you could kick and talk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So it's really cool to have the opportunity
again to talk to the fans and get to know them and them to get to know me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's fun, it's just like I interact with them
and people ask a lot of questions and I love answering them when I can.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I send out some birthdays and it's just fun,
everybody has been really nice.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DMBTattoo: Being a twitter user for several years now, with
fans and friends, everyone appreciates it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Being able to talk to BT, even with questions your answering, people
love it, being able to see a little bit inside to who BT its very nice, we
encourage you to keep it up, we really appreciate it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BT : Thank you, thanks man I appreciate that. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DMBTattoo: We have a few fan questions as well, not related
to the movie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Are you a vegetarian? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BT: Yeah</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DMBTattoo: Related to that, working out as much as you do,
what do you eat for protein being a vegetarian? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BT: The trick is, I drink a lot of protein shakes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a vegetarian, to work out and build muscle
you have to drink protein shakes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There's
no way we can eat enough Boca burgers you know you can't do it. The secret is
protein shakes [laughing]<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a
problem for a long time till I figured out to do the shakes, it was you have to
sit there and stuff down tofu and Boca burgers to get that protein.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That's the toughest thing being a vegetarian
is getting enough protein.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DMBTattoo: As a vegetarian, what's your favorite meal?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BT: I like batter fried tofu and tofurkey, a lot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I like anything that just tastes good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I'm not a vegan so I <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>also eat eggs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Boca burgers, veggie burgers, my diet is pretty simple when it comes to
that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I'm not a gourmet veggie eater, I
eat to survive mostly. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DMBTattoo:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have
had a few fans send in questions and have also been dying to know, what is the
hardest song for you to play?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BT:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I'm going to tell
you what, they are all tough to play.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There isn't a single easy song in Dave Matthews Band repertoire, trust
me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I mean I have sat in with other
bands and I've never sat in with a band with songs like ours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's like a whole different world man, but it's
cool.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There's not one in particular, all
of them are hard, but all of them are a lot of fun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That's just the way we roll I guess, it's the
way that is<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There's not one song that I
sit there and say oh wow this is going to be hard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just look at it like one song at a time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DMBTattoo:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were
wondering, do you know anything about the Mardi Gras mask that is on the
speaker stack next to you? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BT: There's a Mardi Gras mask? I never even noticed it? I
had no idea, I had nothing to do with it at all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's really bad, honestly I didn't even
notice it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is it right next to me? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DMBTattoo:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's right
on the stack next to you, we thought it might have a meaning?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BT: Oh I gotchya,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
never noticed it man. [laughing] I'm going to look for it tonight though.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DMBTattoo: Finally, if you weren't playing with DMB, as a
world renown musician, what would you be doing?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When you were a kid, did you have a career that you wanted to do?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BT: I don't know man, something different. I wanted to be a
musician, a guitar player, but I wanted to rock like I rock now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I'm doing exactly what I wanted to do except I'm
playing the violin instead of the guitar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So I am living my childhood dream.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DMBTattoo:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is
something very few people can say and is absolutely amazing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are very happy for you and we love you rocking
out! Last night was a great show and looking forward to tonight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Really appreciate taking the time to chat
with us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's been a pleasure.</div>
BT: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Absolute, Thanks
for coming.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thank you very much. DMBTattoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03421786306826968751noreply@blogger.com0
