Thanks for the invitation to your Blues Festival community - a little about me (a blues lover) - and the place I live in (my actual community) - inanga.
I live in Jville (Johnsonville), Aotearoa (New Zealand) and I derive a lot of inspiration from my immediate surroundings. Johnsonville, as suburbanly interesting as it is, can be found on the attached Google map. Just zoom in, go to New Zealand (where there are a lot of flags), zoom in again close to Wellington, and just to the north-west is Jville. If you came in by something like 'Jeff Jville' you may wish to view more of my art - CLICK ' > inanga >' at top left of this page.
Have you ever heard the band Dave Warner and From the Suburbs, a Western Australian band, sing 'I'm just a suburban boy, And I know what it's like to be rejected every night...' Jville's a bit like that...
Enjoy Jville NZ - I continue to do so.

He could be seen in an earlier pic. If you haved lived in Jville for a while you will know Rick, a good mate who is absolutely illiterate when it comes to computers. Well the Google cameras caught him in his front yard. Is there no space sacred anymore? I don't think he's worried about it, but the idea of a lawsuit for 'Invasion of Privacy' has entered his head a few times. No, then it occurred to him that he had his bike helmet on. Lawsuit out the door...
Enough of this...
PS Rick's biggest dream is to go to Sturgis for the 'gathering'. i dare say a spell on the curves of the Black Hills would bring him closer to God. And no doubt he'd enjoy the party afterwards...
Question from me: 'Are motorcycle patches allowed?
We are having big problems downunder with bureaucracy cracking down on 'patches' and facial moko (tattoos). i'm not a biker ('bikie' down here) but surely responsible use and good direction of the 'foot soldiers' should overcome this. As for a man's moko or a woman's chin moko, no one has the right to fail to accord the wearers of these the rights of human decency. The opponents of both patches and moko are weak, hiding behind a rather sluggish NZ media.
i suppose i asked this question because if Rick gets to Sturgis he will probably want to wear his patched jacket (his tribe is his secret) and he definitely has lots of facial moko.
