Hi everyone

Most of you reading this know my story for those who check out the thread Bugs Amongst the waves our first receipient http://community.pearljam.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=156508.

I want to start by thanking the entire Bugs staff you guys rule. Last night i was away from home for the night but today when i came home i found that the donation was here at the house. I can not thank you enough you are all an offical member of my family. This donation came in time as we were struggling to figure out how to make the fridge a little fuller. If you are wondering they sent me a grocery card i will keep the amount private.

I want to say do not worry about the time that it took. I understand this is new to you guys and i was your first person to receive a donation. I want you to know that me and Stacey love you guys and think the world of you. Please keep doing what you are doing. If i can help please let me know i will do what i can for you guys. Even if you need a runner here in Central Ohio let me know and i will see what i can do for this great group.

Everyone who donated you guys and gals are just as awesome. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I know that none of us have met but your kindness is totally awesome. You guys have blown my mind about how great of a fan base we are. You guys and gals are also offical members of my family too. I want each of you to know that i am in your debt for life and that i will always appreciate everything you did to help us out. We love all of you and i hope that your kindness is rewarded.

I hope to meet all of you so you can get your hug or a handshake if you prefer. I will be attending the EV show in St Louis on 1 July and Toronto 1 this year. I want to meet as many of you as i can so i can say thank you in person. I want all of you to know just how much we appreciate this. Like i said everyone involved is now an offical member of member of my family and you are all also my friends.

It's so awesome how great of a fanbase we have. You guys have opened my eyes to how great each of you really are. Like i said i hope to meet all of someday and i can not thank you enough. I know times are tough for everyone no just me. It is so awesome that people were willing to give whatever they could to help me out. I hope that all of you get a big kiss from Ms Karma soon and you all should.

Please anyone who is struggling do not hesitate to ask and if you know someone who is struggling please do not hesitate to let BATW know. They were very professional and were very concerned about keeping my privacy. I made the choice to let my identity be known so that you all would know who you were donating to and why. I also wanted you all to know how much i appreciated it. Please do not think you are alone or that you are afraid that people will find out your identity. Like i said BATW was very concerned about my privacy and if you want to remain anonymous they will respect your wishes.

Lastly GiventoLukinKP i will be ready for a hug and you should be ready too. I will be in Toronto with my two cousins and my brother so you have to hang out with us atleast for one beer.

Again thank you everyone
Mike A.K.A DURP

    Hello again all.

    So the other day i receieved a second part of a donation from the BATW group. It was pretty awesome to receive such a generous donation from the staff at BATW and from all of you who donated your cash, garage sale items and anything i else i may be missing from the list.

    Your donation and kind words have been awesome. Some things have a little stressful lately and it's awesome to know that other people are there to have your back once in awhile. I don't think i can thank you guys enough and i'm sure i sound like a skiping record (cd's for the vinayly imparred) but what you all have done is awesome and has made a few worries disappear for the moment and that is awesome.

    Things are going to bounce back for us. They always we do right now we just have to deal with it and thats ok. Our big trip this summer is the EV concert in St Louis. We got the hotel room for 69 a night back in whatever month. My brother told me not to worry about gas to NY then Toronto and back he said hey i know shit is suckin ass for you and stace i can pay the gas it's no big deal dude. So thats awesome about that point is and i'm rambiling i know i feel awesome to have so many people willing to help me out in trying times.

    Thank you all so much i hope your paid back with some great karma soon.
    Thanks
    Mike
