Hello,

I am a long time lurker and finally decided to join. I have been reading this for years. I am a proud Macedonian from the Boston area. I already knew a lot bit have learned a good deal here as well. I think I even emailed Risto once or twice years ago.
Anyway I am here to try and contribute a bit. I am also here for 3 specific items/advice:

1. Hey,wherecan I find Macedonians in the Boston Area(Even Southern, NH)?

2. I am getting my Macedonian Sun tattoo finally and was looking at the thread here for advice. I am doing it in black ink. I am thinking of adding some shading to it as the place does really well with shading black. If I have him add some yellow to the shading am I going to be inadvertently saying something with the black and yellow mix on the Sun?

3. I have some old, old Macedonian vinyl records. Some are likely from the 50's and earlier. Certainly 60's. Is there a market for these? If so how do I not get ripped off selling them?

Thanks all!

I will try to contribute in order to make up for the advice.

Why not look for a Macedonian church in the area or Macedonian organizations; network on the web.

Oh, and welcome!

Because the nearest church to Boston is probably a 3 1/2 hour drive. And the nearest organization is the Pan-Macedonians...and we don't want to be going there

I'm in Vermont and occasionally head down to Boston. PM sometime if you ever want to connect. (I was in Concord, NH for a bit, but now I'm near Burlington, VT).

Ha! Exactly what I was thinking. The PanMaks are here. I am limited to Greek churches although there the Serbs St. Sava in Cambridge.

vicsinad I am just south of Lowell. Let me know when you get down this way. Not a lot of us out here. I am originally from Michigan where there are, a few of us.....

Any help on the tattoo question or the records would be great if anyone knows about that as well.

I think black and yellow are fine. Just be careful from an aesthetic point of view - there's yellow and there's yellow.

Thanks for the advice. One of their specialties is shading black tattoos to make them appear 3-D. I have something by them I am happy with as well. I am thinking parts of the rays fade to a non bright yellow.


Question now is east to west or north to south fade????

Cool. I will try to PM you. Warning I am a bit of an old fart....

Michigan you say....Detroit?

Speaking as a definite old fart...there's two things in life, that I truly don't get...

1. Tattoos
2. Facebook

Any combination of the two is the work of the devil...lol

Thanks Phoenix.
I don't have many tattoos. I am almost on Facebook.
I promise not to post pictures of tattoos once I am.

Awesome! Welcome friend! Glad to have you on board!!

[JPMKD]

Thanks Niko.
I saw in another thread that you were 17 and looking to go to college. Great plan! Stick to it.
Do people in your age range (16-23) listen to live music anymore? Is there any market for hard rock bands in your crowd or in Tampa?

Yes I am! I will

There is but not for hard rock, most music around my area is typically rap!

Tampa is very diverse, I could not tell you specifics my friend.

You won't be saying anything inadvertently with the black and yellow mix. And don't listen to Phoenix, despite what he wrote, he has a clandestine and vicarious appreciation of tattoos whilst watching episodes of SOA
