Dear Ed,
my name is Pat Daly, I'm 21 from Tampa Bay Florida. Ive been skating and been a loyal pawn since 2001. Recently in December my best friend Justin McNeill, who was also a skateboarder and a loyal pawn for toy machine, died at the age of 21 due to renal failure (kidney failure). It's still pretty tough cause he was the main person I would always hang out and go skate with, he's the one gettin' all Leo on that portable ledge in the 2nd picture. I'm not askin' for anything, I just wanted to tell you a story involving the first picture. when Justin wanted to get his first tattoo it was the going to be the graphic of the sect with wings. we go into this tattoo parlor and he shows the "artist" the graphic of the sect and says "you think you could make that fit on my bicep?" the "artist" tries to sketch it out with the proper dimensions a few times and starts to get frustrated and looks him in the face and says to him "its just a little too much detail to fit the bicep, but would you want to look at some of the pictures of the tribals I've already done on biceps before?" we walked the fuck out 'n got our friend to do it the next week. Just thought you'd get a kick out of that. Loyal Pawns never really die, Ed.
-Pat
Thanks for sharing that Pat...
