Chopper Hostel

Fuck You Joe, you’ve really gave us the high hard one! Seems like I was doin’ alright ’til you showed up. Punk ass bitch!

I’ve been at this painting thing for years, since before I even wrote for the magazine and it’s never been easy, but it gives me purpose and I had it to the point that it was keepin’ the lights on. Then Joe stumbled his way onto the world stage and started playin’ politics, now drag queens are running the military and dog food is $26…you bunch of cunts!

Tator-Tots and oatmeal have become nutritional mainstays and fuel, well…Fuck you Joe!

Moving forward, if I want to keep painting shit’s gotta change. I don’t have the make-up to be a social media powerhouse, I’m no good at it, to be truthful, I’m just not that interested in dealin’ with it. Could I get better at it? Sure, but why. I’ll be fucked if I wanna spend the rest of my life playin’ THAT game, that’s not what I signed up for. I’ll sell you some artwork but I ain’t gonna suck your dick to do it.

People have to see my work in person, if it was designed to be seen on a cell phone, I would have painted the shit a lot smaller. Painting is analog, it should be viewed analog. I want people to be in the same room as my work, so things have to change…c’mon down!

I’m throwin’ all my chips at Chopper Hostel. I have to. Shit already went south a while ago sooo…here we go. It seems like the obvious/only choice to make at this point.

If this is gonna happen it has to happen soon. The weather down here is just startin’ to break and spring is springin’ hardcore in the holler. Bikes are already comin’ out of the woodwork, and it technically isn’t even riding season yet. I would really like this place broken in by the time ‘prime’ riding season hits.

Chopper Hostel is located in Mt. Hope West by-god Virginia 25880. I can give you the exact address when you need it. It’s south of the New River Gorge State Park, north of Beckley. It’s a nice ride to Mt. Hope in every direction once you hit West Virginia. Anything outside of the state line isn’t guaranteed, it’s a big scary world out there, pack accordingly.

I’m tryin’ to figure out how to open this place. I mean what is ‘open’ in this situation?

I need to work on the studio/gallery and get it presentable for ‘visitors’, install an outside shower and get the outhouse situation situated before things get hoppin’. After that, I’m thinkin’ of having a kegger. A party to get things started. Get here anyway you can. Drive, ride…whatever, just get here. Plan on campin’ out and maybe lendin’ a hand with the grounds or maybe a little construction to help get things rollin’, I’m a one man show and there’s not enough time to do it all by my lonesome.

The thing is, I have no idea if this is gonna work and if it does work, how will I work it? I just need to get a bunch of people here at once and see how it plays out. It’ll answer a lot of questions and it’s an excuse to have a good time.

The economy is fucked, for at least this summer, for every swingin’ dick in the union. Ain’t none of us big pimpin’ until this horse’s ass and the puppet masters that run him are gone or dead, I’ll be happy with either. Bottom line, moneys tight, it’s his fault…lets go campin’.

I’ve been hard at it, clearin’ land and settin’ fires. The place has come a long way and I’ll give you a tour in the next post. This is gonna happen so keep it in mind. The actual date for the opening party will be set in stone sooner than later, your suggestions are encouraged.

Like I said, ride, drive, trailer your shit, I don’t give a fuck. Off sight parkin’ if you need it for bigger rigs. Camping is primitive, no campers or any of that shit. Be a man, sleep in the dirt.

If you can bring your cool bike I’d encourage you to do just that. There’s quality riding to be had, chuggin’ through the hills is fuckin’ awesome…Shovelhead country. You ride all day and never put your feet down.

I got a good feeling about this, the riding is so great I moved here. I’ll be enjoyin’ it for the rest of my life, you should try it for a few days. Hang out, have a few laughs and pray for the death of everything Biden…that drag bating dickwad.

More info comin’ real soon. Comment your comments in the comments section. Give me your input and let me know if your smellin’ what I’m sellin. I really need the input.

Fingers crossed…Painter out!
