Book Signing in London...
I thought nobody would show up, but was mistaken, both sadly and happily.
This chap scored some gold spray painted shoes that were thirsting for some sharpie marker lines. Bought the new book, and brought some older ones. It took 4 hours to sign everyone's stuff with the TLC it deserved.
This young woman asked me to draw on her arm and I obliged – but near the end of the short drawing Deanna asked her if she was planning on getting it tattoed... (Deanna sensed it...) She answered, "Yes." About a half-hour later she returned with the drawing inked in, flaws and all, including my signature! I don't know what kind of effect I have made on this girl's life that she would want to immortalize our meeting and my mark on her arm, but I can only hope I live up to the honor...
Did you know Emerica made a video about the show in Belgium?
After the signing, Deanna and I escaped to the streets of London, where we steal souls all day long and walk great distances.

Oh the book signing... They sold over 130 books!
The world famous Camden Locks. The locks aside, that area is trying super hard to get people's attention. The smell of patchouli and incense wafts all around, and the currencies of raw hippies burst from every stall and booth, shiny trinkets and beads, posters of Che, Marylin Monroe, Bob Marley, colorful fabric, bracelets and jewelry. Counter-culture for sale without any sacrifice. I wouldn't be surprised to see a "Hippies for War" t-shirt. Punks with huge flamboyant Mohawks and face piercings (rest assured, we know you are bizarre.) actually sit out front of the punk rock store. "Get your punk costume here!" One store, selling fluorescent rave gear in all black-light was like descending into hell, for me at least, but I did it just to see what hell was like, and I have to say – it's sort of what I expected.
If it wasn't so cold I would have taken a dip.
The Tower Bridge is often mistaken as London bridge, which is in fact the next bridge over... And when people sing the famous nursery rhyme, London Bridge is Falling Down, they are not singing about this beautiful feat of architecture, but about the plain, flat, and totally regular London Bridge, which was too lame to even take a photo of.

That dude in the first photo had obviously been waiting for you to arrive.
She blogged the fuck out of that tattoo.
Nothing in life is free.
A ton of people are pumped on Bob Marley. I'm indifferent to that guy.
Traveling the world,selling 130 books in a day,people inking your doodles,international badass.

Part of why I choose to grow a mustache is so people don\'t confuse me as a girl. It happens.

check out the buns on that statue.
supposedly theres a "london bridge" in arizona, that used to be in london, possibly THE former london bridge
and in St Augustine Florida (2 hours north of where I live) there's a really horrible tourist trap destination called The Fountain of Youth. It's what Ponce de Leon THOUGHT was the fountain of youth (maybe), but was really just some sulfur-water coming from a hole in the ground. I had to go there in elementary school. I still remember how pitiful it was

the rebuilt london bridge in Arizona: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:London_Bridge,_Lake_Havasu,_Arizona,_2003.jpg
apparently, some rich guy bought it for 2.5 million and had it reassembled in Arizona. I don't get it

No wonder why it's in Arizona...
JGonz, if it weren't for my mustache, I'd be a pretty girl.

In London you met a very good friend of mine named Ruth, Who is doing work experience for the Guardian newspaper. She asked you to sign a post card for me i received it today, thank you very much.

Great post!
You inspire so many...the sane and the not-so.
Role model? Ask Sir Charles about being a role model. You are a role model in being yourself, an individual.\
That is kind of crazy to know that your signature is permanently emblazoned on another until they eat the dirt.
Congrats again Ed. Awesome dude.
Sock team forever! Long live sock team!
That reminds me. Laundry.
Oh yeah and all my Toy socks are fucking religious now.
I mean holey.
Ha! I got "indigent" on captcha

No one cares if the London Bridge falls down, as long as it's not as cool as that one.
