THE DAILY BEAT: My next tattoo

My next tattoo

My next tattoo will again be Kerouacian. It's not an original idea: I got it from Emma's tat below.

No, I don't know Emma. She's just some random Emma from the Internet whose pic I "borrowed" from this page.

I like the lower case font with no punctuation, and it looks like the "Rough Typewriter" font I had my tattoo artist use for my last Kerouac quote. Not a fan of Emma's location (ouch) - on me, that is. I am thinking left arm underneath my Irish flag.

Here's the quote in Rough Typewriter font.

Might need to go with bold now that I look at it. There, that's better.

Reviews of The Beat Handbook

Gerald Nicosia, author of the acclaimed Kerouac biography Memory Babe, said The Beat Handbook is "full of Jack's heart."

Jared Randall, author of the excellent book of poetry, Apocryphal Road Code, said this about The Beat Handbook: "Sometimes a book comes along at just the right time. In my wandering pack of experiences, I find they often do. Enter The Beat Handbook by Rick Dale."

Kenneth Morris, Kerouacian extraordinaire, said this:
"I just finished reading Rick Dale's beautiful utterance and call to action of Kerouac mind-set and zen sensibilities. It made me laugh and reflect on my own life and road I have naturally grooved into after absorbing the Kerouac canon. The road less traveled always had my name on it. And that has made all the difference. The Beat Handbook 100 Days of Kerouactions reaffirms the attitudes and ideology that made the Beats and Kerouac the important men of ideas that America (and the world) thirsted for, needed, and swallowed whole. Beautiful, absorbing, Top Ten whipsmart from my articulate, tender-hearted friend and fellow traveler. Highly recommended."
