Is this thing on???
Hi kids, what the %&*@$! is up? This is the first post to my new blog (what the hell does blog mean anyway?) What a great time being down at the Cabo Wabo for Sammy's "Are We Having Any Fun Yet?" boat cruise bash. The Wabos were on fire and The Other Half was officially in the house!
I'm in the San Fran area and we just wrapped up rehearsals for the Other Half tour. Everybody is smokin' and the set list is on fire! Vic and Bro are kicking ass!!! I'm excited as hell for the first show in Lake Tahoe. We've got a few surprises in store - some songs we haven't played in quite some time and I'm really looking forward to rockin' with all of our fans this summer.
It feels like such a long time since the last VH tour ended. Sammy and I can't wait to get out there again and party with each and every one of you crazy mofos!!!!!
I hope you'll check in with me and my blog regularly as I'll be posting often about what's happening on and off stage throughout the summer tour.
Here's a few pix from rehearsals to kick things off. See ya at the Tahoe Wabo! Ow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mike...
It is so good to see you and Sam out there having fun. To be honest with you, the state of VH is pretty dismal and we can only hope it gets better. But for now, you and Sam need to go out there and tear it up like nobody's bizness.

"Blog" is colloquially defined as being short for "Weblog." Like Captain Kirk's log, only on the web...
Or something equally silly. ;)
Welcome to Blogspot. See you this summer!

Thanks for keeping the music alive! Will see you in Tahoe and probably the south bay later in the summer.
Would love to see you guys do hear about it later, so this is love and atomic punk.
Oh, and you guys should bring Y&T out with you!
Mike,
Good luck with the tour! How about extending it to include some Canadian dates?
Mike, glad to see you guys having fun, I just wanted to know if there was any chance of the Other Half making it to Southern Ontario, Canada?
Thx,
Chris
Mike,
Thank you for taking the time to talk to your fans. If only a certain guitar player you've worked with cared that much...
You are a class act and the fans know it.
Hey Mikey....thanks for playing on Thurs., the night BEFORE the cruise goers in Cabo....us Ohio sisters had an awesome time, even if we don't remember it (damn CTW!)
*Drunker & Drunker* will see you in Columbus, Pittsburgh & Indy shows! Love ya!
Marcia :)
Mikey, your heart has always been in the right place. Your humility & passion for music is beautiful.We appreciate it very much!!
Hey, Play some solos like the old days. You were a little conservative in the last tour. You are an exciting & skilled player- kick out some riffs from the old days!
Please tell Sammy to play, "High Hopes"- I love that song!!! Also were praying for Ed, he seems like he is slipping away. I wish he would wake-up. If everyone could leave their ego's at the door....Anyway, You have a great spirit- See ya- Drummerchick, (yes, I play drums & I'm a chick-haha)
"How the FUCK you been?"
..great blog!!

Wow,,,I'm not much of a computer girl..The blog sign up thing kinda scared me off a bit so I sent a "Thank You" to your comments email section for our 2 flippin' awesome shows here in Bakersfield. Also an email regarding the great shirts we bought from your "store" which are perfect!!!Tonight I took the plunge and figured out the blogger account.(?) Brave New World for this Baby Boomer..
