I got a Port, (or a 3rd breast)

Nothing to do with vinyl, but..............

So say you had $13,000.00 to spare, what would you spend it on? Well, if it was me, I'd pay off my house, but seeing how it was the Insurance companies money, and I ONLY had to come out of pocket for $2300, I guess the next best thing would be for a port to be inserted over the muscle in my chest, with a tube running into a artery, to pump Chemo in. (the lump under the stitches) It is actually called a AngioDynamics access device, large name for something that hurts like a snickersbar (Skullbrainers will appreciate that) This Mon 18th I get to find out 1st hand how it works & how painful it might be. I'll let you know LOL.

DOUBLE YOUR PLEASURE

Now for the good news, Pushead has done it again!!

May I introduce..............

52 weeks blue crete crawling siamese glow twin skullpirate

#3 in the 52 week series, #2 being the Vitamin C Skull Captain 2007, and #1 was the "Raider Pirate" 2006

Released December 22nd 2009 through Secretbase, Japan.

Take 2 pirates, amputate the legs, join them at the hips, and have them glow baby blue in the dark, and you have a award winning figure, (or should I say figures)

My pictures do not do this piece justice. If you collect Pus, you need to pick this figure up.

Personal setback

Just a little update on my personal life. In Nov. 2009 I found out that I have colon cancer, stage 3. After 1 colonoscopy, two Cat scans, 1 Ultrasound, numerous blood test, and a EKG, I was declared to be perfectly healthy for a 50 year old, with the exception of the tumor in my lower colon (go figure). I am scheduled to have a port put into my chest next week, for the Chemo to be pumped in, and start full Chemo & Radiation treatment the following week.

When I 1st got the news it sucked, but my Doctors, said I have a excellent chance on beating it. Needless to say I am not gonna roll over and give up. I plan on staying around to torment my kids for another 20 years or so. A ton of people have been praying for me, and the faith that my wife & I have will carry us through.

The real drag is that I have 12 weeks of Chemo & Radiation (5 days a week) to shrink the tumor, then surgery to remove it and 6-8 weeks recovery from that, then back on Chemo & Radiation for another 4 or 5 months to make sure it's gone. It's gonna be a long strenuous year.

Judy (my wife) has been so supportive, and has been to every Dr. visit with me, and puts up with me when I have issues dealing with the pain.

SDCC is out of the question this year again, because I can't miss any of my treatments. So...... I guess we'll shoot for 2011 instead.

I will continue to post pics of new items I get, and update my condition, for the 4 or 5 people who check my blog LOL. Please keep me in your thoughts & prayers.

Scott & Lauren

I am happy to announce the opening of San Francisco's SUPER7's sister store here in St. Petersburg Florida. Judy & I attendended the Grand opening 08/29/2009 and had a blast.

Allthough the opening "officially started" at 7:00pm, we arrived early, to find the location, get some lunch, and generally check out the area. We met Scott Dias (Stealthtank to you SBer's) & his charming wife Lauren, and was shown around the store.

From Kaiju, t-shirts, prints, original art, (and a few UglyDoll's thrown in) this is a vinyl collectors dream come true.

As most of our individual pieces for our collections come from Kaiju stores like Super7 in San Francisco, Secret Base & Realxhead in Japan, and from fellow collectors, to have a store in our own backyard is truly a god (or in this case) a Godzillasend.

My many thanks to Bryan Flynn, (Super7 SF California), for feeding the addiction of us vinyl addicts here in FLA.

PS: Brian & Scott........ Keep thinking PUS SHOW, PUS SHOW, PUS SHOW, PUS SHOW!!!

Super7 is located at:

720 2nd Street North
