Whaddup,
First, Dennis Reynolds is and always will be one of the greatest showmen the world of entertainment has ever seen. He rocks a skin-tight, spandex jumpsuit better than Bowie and Mcjagger, and has a voice that would put any of these "rockstars" to shame. The man puts the sex appeal in sex, drugs, and rock n' roll.
It's crazy how creative you can be when you isolate yourself in a dark room with a can of spray paint (For huffing, obviously.) and an electric keyboard. Give Charlie enough time in there and he'll give you way more than just 9 symphonies. After he destroys a couple of hotel rooms, first.
Breaking other people's shit: that's Rock n' Roll.
That's it,
Steven

Hey,
I made you a patch. I just saw something, and I thought of you... and I don't want it to be weird...I just wanted to be nice. (But not weird like a grown man giving another grown man a present.) It's okay, you're welcome.
It's funny because we're both Veterans. We both endured a lot of bullshit. But, hey, I got a weird sense of humor, I'm a sick puppy.
Do you understand what's so funny about this patch, though? Because at first glance you think it's just another veteran patch from some military operation, but then at second glance you read, "Operation enduring this bullshit", and now you're thinking this is outrageous!
Happy Friday,
Steven
P.S. Little River Band goes hard.

*We are pleased to announce that all proceeds from this patch will be donated to The Enrique S. Camarena Educational Foundation. The Foundation was founded to preserve and promote the sacrifices made by Special Agent “Kiki” Camarena as well as all law enforcement officers who have given their lives in fighting drug abuse. In addition, the foundation also established The Drug Abuse Education Scholarship Program in an effort to promote a discussion of drug-free lifestyles among our Nation’s youth.
There are not too many jobs out there that sound less appealing to me than working undercover assignments for the DEA infiltrating Mexican drug cartels. The risk/reward just isn't there for me. But that's why I do what I do and men like Enrique "Kiki" Camarena do what they do. Going toe-to-toe with some of the most dangerous cartels on the planet is no child's play. But doing it while wearing a wire is just a whole different beast, man.
The first launch letter I wrote was for our "Policia, Cabron" patch, and I told a story about that one time I was in Tijuana, the cartel, and a brick of bam-bam taped to the underside of a car. That was in 2019, and Tijuana is basically just San Diego but at a discounted price, and I was still sketched the fuck out about the whole incident. Kiki was handling business in 1985 Guadalajara with much more to concern himself with than one measly kilo. He was going after the whole damn industry.
Enrique "Kiki" Camarena was a true hero and his dedication to justice and the well-being of others will always be remembered. His bravery and selflessness knew no bounds, and may his legacy continue to inspire the future generations to come.
Hope you guys enjoy,
Steven
