A few months ago I received a message from Matt saying a friend of his was looking to have a website created for her upcoming clothing/accessory store. We went through a couple of  layouts an kept things moving forward on the build. I got an email with the first few images for the site and knew right then it was going to be a pretty fun project to work on. It ended up being fairly tough with all the coding and tweaking needed to get it right, but fun none the less and I’m happy with the results!

Let us know what you think and go and buy some sweat stuff from Absolute Blackout!!!

Congratulations Maddy, very nice work! and to the rest of the Absolute Blackout crew, awesome stuff!

Syracuse Bike Polo

After the Tour de Syracuse, we invited people over and were introduced to Bike Polo. They meet at Berry Park (corner of Westcott and Broad Street) Syracuse, New York on the tennis courts every Sunday and Monday, 4:30, 5:30 respectively. There’s a great turn out of riders each week and they are always looking for new people to join in on the fun. Bring a beater bike and good attitude and great balance!

Each game is pretty intense when you first start, but after you get used to it, it’s incredible fun, so if you’re ever in the area stop by Sunday or Monday and have a good time. You can meet the Syracuse Bike Polo group on Facebook and don’t be shy to leave a little something if you’re interested.

Take a look at some photos of what you missed this past Monday.

This past weekend was the 24th Annual AM-JAM TATTOO EXPO in Syracuse/Liverpool NY, where Winky Dink Ink‘s Bobby Ciffone and Matt Truiano participated in the festivities. It was an impressive convention that I expect to attend every year from now on. So many talented artists from all over set up shop at the Holiday Inn with tattoo enthusiasts mingling and getting tattooed everywhere you turned.
