its gorgeous over here 90 plus for temps and we get tropical rainstorms every night which is really cool to watch. We are in puerto viarta not sure if thats how you spell it, at the riu hotel resorts. Just gettin blasted right now wishing I had my hookah with me. But anyways to get to the point, they have all these merchants and stuff in downtown and there is a guy who paints with his fingernail and he makes these elaborate, and incredibly impressive paintings for 40 bucks a pop, easily could be 200+ for this kind of work back in the states. So I asked him if he would do custom work and he said sure, so i hoped on the web and printed out a pic of the km tri-metal, by far my fav hookah, and granted the picture wasnt very clear and it was black and white, but i explained to him the colors and what not and took a pic on my digital camera and showed it to him so he could see the colors. I am hoping it looks amazing and I figure if it doesnt look to much like the trimetal it will be original and either way it will look gorgeous. Ill post pics up when I get back to the states because on these comps I dont have access to the tower with the usb ports and what not so i cant upload the photos.

On another note when i was explaining to the guy how it looks and what not, naturally people (tourists) started gathering around me asking me what it was I wanted him to make me, so i began to explain and all i got from the crowd was a bunch of laughs, people saying u dont put hookah tobacco in that, yada yada yada, and i got heated. Rather aggrivating as you all know I am sure, I told everyone to think what they wanted, I put hookah tobacco in my hookah because that is what it was made for and intended for. I explained how it worked and got some of them to believe me and some to still think otherwise, oh well f´them.

Hope everyone is enjoying their smokes and are having good sessions.

Cheers from Mattarios in Mexico

Take care guys talk to you all on the 15th when I get back.

heres the pics i said i was going to upload, it doesn't have the exact close details of the tri-metal but i thought it came out great. This guy paints with the tip of his finger nail and uses oil paint or w/e it's called.

Check it ...

man that is a tight painting good going. And as for those douches who think that the hookah is a nht product they should go cry in a ditch for eternity while someone is slowly but surely slicing off their manhood haha. O man I would have been so heated as well good job sticking up for the righteousness of the hookah.

Tropical rain storms each night? Awesome!

But yea, you should have just strangled anyone in that crowd who said, 'OMG thats not fer tobaco LOL 420!'

And that painting is really nice.

yo bud, yeah I am back,w as a good trip accept american airlines sucks my nuts. delayed flight for 2 hours from from mexico to dallas texas. so by the time we got 2 austin we missed our connection flight from dallas to boston. had to stay overnight in dallas and then take a flight at 7 am yeah so we had 2 get to the airport for 5 am. had another 2 hour delay and didnt leave till 9. then they lost our luggage at boston and finally found it after 2 hours ... and it was all soaked. YES, all of our luggage was soaked, someone left our luggage outside in texas and didnt bring it in when we couldnt make the flight from dallas to boston. bullshit if u ask me. so now they are making us go through everything and finding what is damaged and then we have 2 send it to them via fedex so they can go through it and review how much money we are going to ask for, it's such bullshit.

the guy that painted this paints with his fingernail, you read right, it's insane the kind of work this guy does, and he only charges 40 bucks a pop for his work, which is awesome.

but anyways, other than that the trip was awesome, just the trip back sucked. Ey btw i know you have been busy, but any luck on the new packing video? like i said to you in the pm im gonna try rayvers style tonight if my sore throat goes away from my sinus infection.

thanks man
