Last night I was thinking (oh dear, this is never good!). We've got plenty of Adam sites to go 'round, I know Stef has an Eric site somewhere, and Rachel just finished putting up a Ken site. But think about it people. We're missing a Mike site. We're missing our little "god"!!!!!!! He's probibly off crying in a corner 'cuz we've forgotten him! pout
Now I hate to look/sound/seem like a copy cat and all, but Mike NEEDS a site of his very own. I think that it was mentioned only once and no one took up the offer or said anything in agreement. I'm going to change that. (Especially in light of my recent creative endeavors- but any one of my lj buds can tell you about that later.)
Right now, I'm going to go off and find Mike and give him a big hug to make him feel better, and then I'm gonna start brainstorming ideas to make a site for a kick-ass bassist! Any donations would be greatly appreiciated.
I knew we should've spoken up sooner. Hacker Groupie and I have started a little collaboration, and we are just waiting on the word from Mike about it.
Dana-you and HG are welcome to use any of my Mike shots Just credit please and link back to ABC g
And hehe I knew that, HG spilled the beans over the weekend g

Common Ro Baby, sweetie pie, dearest, jewel of my heart.. or something g Do you really think I'd let the Mike-ster go unnoticed and unloved and be the only guy in the band not to have a shrine of worship devoted to him? Fret not, as Dana said, we're just waiting for word from the guy..
But you can expect great things of the site... frequent announcements about the virgin sacrifices to be held each Saturday (followed by a potluck), where to buy Mike altars and candles and nicely-smelly things and of course, how to follow in Mike's footsteps, kinda like following Tommy (of The Who's Tommy) just without the whole Deaf, Dumb and Blind thing... oh, and the ending where everyone turns on him..Nasty stuff that.
So, yeah, stay tunned. Or not. Or maybe just go play some pinball..

Eric site & Fanlisting
March 3 2003, 7:17 PM
Dana & Hacker - that's great your starting a Mike site! He soooooo needs one!
CommonRoBaby - you can make a Mike sote too! Make a fanlisting!! That way he'll have a full site and a fanlisting for us all to join! It'd be cool!
We're working on getting some info back up that, for some inexplicable reason, was undone. This includes out guestbook link (which has been since readded), Eric's quick bio tid bits, and some links in the music section. We're also needing info from Eric...
ERIC - if you're lurking,please email me!! I need to get some info from you bud!!
HG- Quote: "...frequent announcements about the virgin sacrifices to be held each Saturday (followed by a potluck)..." Shit. That means I have to run and hide really quick or I'm going to be sacrificed..... Whoa. What am I saying?! I am, frilling, proud to be this way!
Stef- somewhere *g* I knew there was a link somewhere, but I didn't know what it was exactly. hugs ya
CoRo Baby - And I'm proud you're proud... Really though, it doesn't hurt (much) to be sacrificed.. and it's for a good cause. Mike. Which, you know, is way cooler than sacrificing someone so that the crops'll grow or something.
For those who wander in here, do sign up to the Eric fanlisting and visit the site + forums. It's funny - we know there are many Eric fans out there and few do actually pop in to say hi
And if anyone wants to use it, I have a GREAT picture of Mike from the Whisky show that I'm going to put up soon, and then I will link to it. You know you all want it....it's a REALLY good picture...
Ooh I have tons of good Mike shots for this new website Him looking supafly (dear Joss, did I really just say that? *g*) at the Halloween show and all sorts of other goodies
Hehe each of our boys will soon have a site. Too cool
And LOL was that you Mike? g Come play with us more often!

CoRo4Me - Why the "haha" in your post?
And yes, I'd LOVE to see a great Mike photo. Great photos are fun.
Briel - "B" huh? Is this like a Men In Black thing? If so I want to be "g" but only if the name's "Little G" 'cause, yeah.. snerk Sorry.. my mind is still filled with visions of little nazi DMV minions so it's a little slow tonight.
TB - Watch me chortle at any and all mention of Halloween... Wigs are NOT my friend. Next year I'm going to try desperately to get AJ to be Seymour of Little Shop of Horrors.. hehe. And no, it's never to early to start thinking up costumes. Costumes are fun.
Okay, I need to check a few more threads and go to bed since I get the joyous task of meeting a DMV nazi at 8 AM tomorrow to try, once again, to prove that I am who I am who I am. Two birthcertificates, my college photo ID, my social security card and a highschool yearbook had better clear things up...
~Hacker Groupie, apparently is an Imaginary Friend.
It's B as in Briel. Nothing having to do with Men In Black. More Buffy if anything. Some of my friends call me B and I like it and it's faster to type than Briel.

B - I realised it stood for B, I was just a-goofing off with possible motives for shortening Briel to B. And I totally forgot the "B" as in what Faith called Buffster thing.

Dude.. I so should start proof-reading posts. "I realised it stood for B" Gee, HG, very astute of you..
That really should have read "..it stood for Briel."
Briel-that's how TB was born. I just got so tired of typing out TeddiBear each time. Now I regret it considering everyone calls me the other tb just to piss me off. But heh, B, I like it. She's being all Faith-y snicker (I really hated when Angelus called Faith that by the way, ugh)
Hacker Groupie-yes I know wigs are not your friend, they're not mine either. Apparently neither are purple and black thigh highs that won't stay up so you have to pull them up every 5 seconds in the middle of Santa Monica Blvd... but I digress. Still that was a fun nite Drunk bellydancers and Dick Tracys and ooh IHOP! snicker and haha B stands for B? You dork. *bap!*

Just a little update to let you know that Mike's site will be online soon.
I have set up a generic FTP account so that you can upload your pictures. Makes it a little easier, yeah?
Just make a directory with your name so that we know whose pictures are whose.
Also, Matt said it was cool if we hosted the mp3s and such of live recordings. If you want to upload those, there is a folder for that too. *hint hint Justin/Kinny/et al* Plus, I am planning on converting to wma and/or having a Flash radio for those with pesky networks at work. :p
I guess I should post what I have so far, and you guys can help fill in the blanks if you'd like. Please correct me if I am wrong about any of the dates or locations. I am planning on using this naming convention so it's easier to figure out what ones we all have (as opposed to "sitdown1.mp3, sitdown2.mp3, etc"). I also made sure the tags had the most information I could offer correctly entered, like title, artist, year, album, and a comment if I knew where it was recorded. I am bolding the ones that I have questions about. Not too important, but still ...
SO FAR I HAVE:
answering_machine_082402.mp3 - From City Walk 8/24/02
cowboy_082402.mp3 - From City Walk 8/24/02

Union Maid songs so far, keeping in mind the titles are mostly our guesses. They are dated by the day I first downloaded them with the idea that those were the first days they were available.
I am still planning on offering up the songs we aquire in mp3 format as .wma as well so that someone with a network that blocks mp3s can still grab the .wmas

The Offstage Lines one from the Hotel Cafe is from August 27, 2002. I wonder if it's mine. I don't think anyone else was taping there.
Nice list.

The Oklahoma from the TMBG show was at the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre
Thanks Briel! I have edited those two files, and uploaded the new info.
BTW, I forgot to mention that the page with all the downloads will be available when Mike's site goes live ... hopefully in a week (I am aiming for Friday).
*crosses fingers that HG sees this and doesn't think I am insane*

COOL News, Dana! I can't wait for the Mike and MP3 pages to be up. It really helps for non-USA folks like me!
