Cool, but found your souce.  Pricey!  I am decorating the man cave with early 20th century and late 19th century photographs and this would fit perfectly.  But $425?  Ouch!

Just out of curiosity, why does a single guy need a man cave?  My whole house is a man cave.   ;D

Well, it was the place away from the girlfriend and when family visits, it is my hideaway from them. 

I bought the house three years ago and the only thing I have refinished is the basement.  I had to remove the drug lab and hydroponics setup.  Also had to soak the bloodstain out of the concrete from the suicide that I was not told about when I bought the place (also a murder in my bedroom).  I ended up refinishing every surface in that space, knocked out a wall, redid all of the electrical and put the entertainment system down there (52" LCD, BluRay and DTS surround).  I have a fridge down there and am working on building a bar.  So, I have made that space into what I wanted in the house.

I just have not touched anything upstairs yet.  All of my energy has gone into the basement.  The upstairs is more for visitors as I have done absolutely nothing to it yet.  It is still plain Jane white walls and hardwood floors.  Remodeling it will be my winter project.  The basement is where I primarily hang out.  Warm in the winter, cool in the summer and relatively safe from tornados.

Man caves!  That reminds me, I told my wife that when our son moved out of the house I wanted to have a "naked room" like in the movie "Failure to Launch".   O:O  She told me I could have a naked house when he moved out!   :*)) (He's an only child)!   :*)) :*))   !B@ !B@

So, who's collecting for the picture?  SSSSHHHHH!!!!  Don't tell Tyler about this!!  O0

It sounds great...like you don't have to behave in the Cave. I 'd like to join in and have some beers with you also. Maybe when my new, merry  "BOLDmobile" rolls into your town. No kidding, I just bought a 1984 Coachman, class C RV and will soon be spreading SBG's and Bald is BOLD across the US. Tyler and me are talking about working together on this one. Stay "stewed for the nudes" oops, I mean "stay tuned for the news".

I never behave in the Cave.  Sounds like I might need to get a kegerator installed.  :)

SBG/BiB World Tour - Nice ring to it!  If you are ever in the Twin Cities, MN area, look me up.  Maybe a Mall of America event.  Now here is a thought that just came to me.  A St. Baldricks at Mall of America in the main atrium brought to you by SBG & Bald is BOLD.  Think about it.   O0

This doesn't sound like the Minneapolis/St. Paul I know--it's more like a CSI  stage set.  Maybe the drug lab was actually where they made up the lutefisk, and the blood stain was left over from someone who ate it and didn't have the genetic makeup to survive ;D ;D ;D.  That murder in the bedroom is heavy. 

Do man-caves in the area come w/ built in Mr. Coffee setups? >:D

That book sounds awesome.  I like Capps' quote: Baldness is just mind over matter.  It doesn't matter if the man doesn't mind.  Tru dat!  8)

Awesome mission statement.  I love the legislature stating a bald man "being as radiantly happy as a fat man, was a blessing to the community."

I live in a strange neighborhood.  Triple homicide at the other end of the block.  I should have perhaps researched more before I bought the house, but it was at the time $50k below market for the area.  Now I know why.  :)  The libraries have been more than helpful in acquiring old news articles to piece the information together.  It was much harder to get information on the suicide.  The cause of death on one of the certificates is "injury ulnar nerve."  They only handled marijuana and cocaine, so no worries with meth.

I have two different coffee makers.  One for espresso.  But I do not roast my own and nothing is built-in.  Thinking of going through the expense to make it a wet bar with potentially a range top.  Sort of a mini kitchenette.  Then if the parents ever move in, I the perfect place for me to live below ground.

Thanks Tyler!  Just picked up a copy of it for $7 so I can read the missing pages.
