Hey MIKE! How have your shows been going?? Can't wait to catch one. I will be in DC on the 8th and then the 10th...Maybe you'll be able to come out and hang. Lemme Know. You know I've always got you plus two on the list. Peace for now.
Hey, if you do a thing in DC and you want the Rollercoaster on the bill just drop me a line. Not quite sure if DC is ready for my antics, but we could give it a try.
