    Dave, I was suprised that someone else had seen that. Vince Hemmingson is actually the guy that started Kilts Night in Vancouver. He and Thomas used to be a regular addition when it was at the Trap and Gill. Good show, made me want a few more tattoos.

    That's wild, I didn't know that. It was quite awhile before I found out the Vince was from Vancouver and has a tattoo shop downtown, I haven't been there yet, but I plan on it.

    As far as i know, Vince is actually just a regular client and friend ot Thomas Lockheart's, the owner of the Shop http://www.westcoasttattoo.com
    It's really funny how often Vince's name comes up in the kilt circles. He was a Utilikiltarian in 2003 http://www.utilikilts.com/pcw-vincenterrolhemingson.htm, He actually designed the Uk Survival Kilt, and he has one of his many tattoos on Pat Fish's site http://www.luckyfishart.com/sgiandubh.html
    To top it off, he is a good guy.

    Sorry for going off topic, but for anyone interested in what we are talking about, have a look here http://www.vanishingtattoo.com

    Back to the regularly scheduled program
