Summer is drawing to a close. I think the expression on the fellow below sums up how I feel about that.
Another great tattoo from Kipod in Tel Aviv. This one was inked by Max Wert.

Stay Calm

On April 27th, in Philadelphia, there will be a gathering to celebrate Shannon’s life and the friendships he helped to foster. To read more about the event, please visit this blog. Below is an excerpt from the site about the event:
The weekend will have something for everyone, reminiscent of BME BBQs of the past. There’ll be time at the park, private suspensions, a party/fundraiser at a bar and the eventual hotel shenanigans that IAM events made famous.
We’ve worked out a special group rate at the LOWES Philadelphia (update: SOLD OUT! We’re working on a second block at another local hotel so please stay in touch if you’re in need of accommodations) and are working on other perks. Checking back here or the Facebook event listing will be your best way to keep up with the latest news.
If you know of any other gatherings taking place please feel free to post about them in the comments below.
We just wanted to say thank you, again, for the love and support the community has shown all of us here at BME. If you’re going to an event please do take pictures and share them with BME, we would love to see them, especially those of us who live too far away to attend anything.

The Art of Suspension Fundraiser Shirt
Written by
A few short weeks prior to his passing, Shannon had been working on new designs for BMEshop. The Art of Suspension, displaying the various styles of suspensions that have been performed, was the last shirt that he had completed.
Per Shannon’s request, we would like to use this shirt as a fundraiser in order to raise funds for his daughter, Ari Larratt, who lives with her mother, Rachel Larratt.
The shirt has Shannon’s design on the front and printed on the back is the Militia logo In Memoriam of Shannon.
The shirts start at $20 and there is an option to add a donation amount. The final amount of the shirt you select will display on the top next to the name of the shirt as well as on the left of the donation drop down menu on the shop page.
Please note that the shirts will not be able to be printed until after Rachel and Ari return from Canada, which will be around mid April. They will be printed as soon as possible and shipped shortly after that. Thank you.
