another great evening! Thanks Mike!!! Felt kinda sorry for poor Duff..... Everybody left after FTM. Mike sat around and chatted with everyone after the FTM show was over. Great fun, great people, makes for a great evening!

I forgot to mention the funniest part of my evening! After the FTM set my buddy came back from talking to Mike and he was not wearing a shirt??? Turns out he had traded Mike his shirt for the one Mike was wearing on stage! You hafta LOL at that!

I thought the doors were at 8:00 for the Flight To Mars show. I was wrong they were at 9:00. I was way early. As I got to the club I saw Mike hanging outside in the front. The band was just getting done with sound check. Mike stuck out his hand and said Hi and asked my name. For the next ten minutes we talked cassually about life, music and Pearl Jam. He asked were I was from (Puyallup) and wanted to know who was playing the fair because he wanted to take his family. We then showed each other pictures of our kids and talked about being dads. I asked about The Bridge School Benifit and he told me that PJ would not be there this year. We also talked about Motley Crue being in town and him seeing them when he was younger. He took pictures with myself and my friends and then he left. The show was amazing! Tons of energy and I got to meet more Pit Members than I can remember. After the band got done Mike hung out and took picture, signed autographs, and handed out giutar picks! I went up and shook his hand again. And Mike asked me "Was that better than the Crue"? Yeah, Mike it so was, I told him. It was a really awesome night and that rock star is one of the nicest people I have ever talked to!

Wooooow! Great story, thanks

bummer about bridge though, hopefullly they change their minds between now and when it gets closer to finalizing the lineup. i can deal with them working on the new album too though, i ain't greedy....much haha

could someone give me any clues as to how to find elcorazon?
I drove around the cascade/south lake union neighborhood, went all the way home- printed out directions from mapquest and still couldn't find it.

feel like an idiot- ( I have no night vision apparently?)
at least I can walk to the Tractor.

Nice story btw
thanks for sharing & I agree with Lizardking- Mike is a better human being than musician & he is a damn fine musician.

It was all ages, there were a bunch off younger kids there.

Hey, you were the guy in front of me in line at the EV show in Vancouver! We were bitching about the exchange rates....Did you get that Billabong shirt at the pre-party thing the night before?

Mike is so cool in person - he's the DUDE!!

PS. Thanks for posting the photos and about your conversation...

I was in Vancouver, I was more than likely the guy complaining about the exchange rate, and I got my shirt at costco for $11.99.

Hey Kity- It's tricky getting down do the corazon, because the closest streets go up over to Capital Hill... the easiest way is probably to take Howell, which turns into Eastlake, or if you're walking, take the sidewalks on the *side* of the bridges (which looks like sketchy alleys that you wouldn't want to walk down. : )

He said they were gonna start recording in October. he said they already had five songs written and have demos for them! Did not sound like they would be doing any more touring

that is not the first time he has told people that there are 5 songs done!
