Well Long story short I met Mike in cleveland at the rock hall. We share a comon bond which is recovery and me and my bud did this thing in cleveland where we made a sign so he could find us cuz he said he'd look for us so we made an inside job sign with a special twist. He seen us and it was great so i kept the sign and took it to cincy with me. !st I can't believe I got through the doors with it the way cincy is. But my wife thought i was retarded and all cuz she was with me. Until Mike seen it and then she got the point. He freakin actually remembered me and He actually like was motioning to me that they would play inside job and they did! Man, what afreakin cool thing to have when they are your favourite band and they actually give a shit and care about they're fans!! Hopefully one of these days I get to meet him again and talk a little more about things with him! Just keep it up! Just for today, I am free! I'll not lose my faith!! It's an inside job today!

    When I had the peace signs in Albany and my mom got the point it was cool. Ed flashing the Peace sign at us was awesome.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    That is funny - I'd probably blank out too - I'd better prepare an answer in the extremely unlikely event that this is asked of me by him. Probably I'd say 'wh-wh-whatever you want to play'.

    Great story, spiderman2812!

    Thats an awesome story...I remember you guys. I was 2 rows behind you in Cleveland and you kept holding up that damn sign even AFTER he played it and it was pissing people off cause it was blocking their view...and not only had Mike acknowledged you guys more than once but you got your song. I am cool with signs and stuff as long as there is a respect for those behind you...meaning don't have it up in the middle of a song...and once the band has acknowledged it...stop putting it up. Its serving no purpose but to block your fellow jammers view.
    That said...I was closer to the middle so It didn't block my view anyways and congrats again. :)

    I'm so happy for you. Mike seems to be a "real" person and I think he would be easy to talk to. Good for you!
