It was good seeing you again; thanks for coming all the way to Riverside for the show...we are flattered. Perhaps we will cross paths again at a show somewhere down the road.
Also, that was some high-speed shine on those shoes/boots; pretty sharp, good to go, over and out!
Hey Mike, just wanted to thank you and the boys again for comin' down and playin' Hump Night. And as a "fan", it was an honor to share the stage with you for a song. Yeah, go ahead and call me a pansy. Fuck off.
