thanks Jerry !

last thursday I packed my books, frames and stuff into the great Hopped-Up bus and drove it all the way over to the UK. about 1200 km that is in cluding a short ferry trip across the channel.
Jerry Chatabox and the Rockabilly Rave had invited Hopped-Up to have a stand right next to the bands’ signing table in the main hall. Thanks again, Jerry for that!
I met a whole lot of nice people. among these my friends Sarina, Teresa and Sergio with who I shared a chalet. But also Frieda, Till and Kasi from Berlin and Leipzig, Rob from Robs Chop Shop from Dallas, Texas, and Terry and some guys from the Executioners. I got to know some really nice people as for example Maaike and Ade of Roundup Records from Sheffield and their friends, too.
I can now tell it is not really recommandable to do a stall alone- exspecially when you are there from 3 pm to 2 am everyday. But nevertheless I had a good time at the Rave.
The pictures document pretty good what I did not that much party for me this time.
Again I got loads of great feedback for the book! And thanks to those who bought it! For example: ( see photos) Marti Brom, artist from the states and Ade of Roundup Records.
For those who didn’t want to take it as extra luggage please do not forget to order it through here!
all the very best to everyone I met!

Mike got his copy of the book. my friend Sammy, the fantastic designer of Redcat7, delivered it to him as I was in the UK for the Rockabilly Rave. thanks Sammy! She told me he was really into the first pages.
later more.
