Looking forward to the videos, and hearing more from the band!

It was classic! Patrick's a wild man... that's freaking hilarious. Thanks so much for the kind, encouraging words, and for noticing we were smuggling armadillos in our khakis. (WTF?! ) I thoroughly broke my ass on many songs. Well on all 20 songs, and in many places, but we still had fun anyway! — Mike http://www.youtube.com/morphballio Top

I predict good things for the band? You guys need to move forward with the group and go all in. — METEOR IV on reverbnation Top
Fady Joined: Mar 07, 2010 Posts: 2226 North Carolina	Posted on May 10 2012 01:21 PM Appreciate all the looks, kind words and encouragement. Couldn't resist sharing one more photo from Saturday. It really was a hoot. Hoping to do it again sometime soon. Original note with the photo... Just a question- Jamie in mid-flight: badass, or super-badass? :D Which got a response... Definitely SUPER-BADASS. /m/ Only to be followed up by... If you look closely, you'll see that Jamie jumped when he heard Fady start singing! image — Fady El Mirage @ ReverbNation Top

So, this must be asked: why is the young man that just days ago received an amazingly beautiful Johnny Marr Jaguar using his Yamaha SGV for this gig???? — Ivan Lords of Atlantis on Facebook The Madeira Official Website The Madeira on Facebook The Blair-Pongracic Band on Facebook The Space Cossacks on Facebook The Madeira Channel on YouTube Top

norcalhodad Joined: May 25, 2006 Posts: 537	Posted on May 10 2012 02:39 PM I like the retro, classic, Sears and Roebuck Co. attire paired with the SGV. He's kind of like a hip G.I. that was stationed overseas and came back with the latest Japanese electric guitar. — > Top

Fady Joined: Mar 07, 2010 Posts: 2226 North Carolina	Posted on May 10 2012 03:37 PM I'd ordinarily look for Mike to answer for himself, but also happen to know he's buried in a move and might possibly not resurface for a few days. He seriously considered breaking bad with the new JAGMARR, but having only a couple short days to get acquainted before the first gig, he ultimately chose the familiarity of his ol' trusty friend. Understandable in the full context - I'd do the same for sure. — Fady El Mirage @ ReverbNation Top
