Title: Mike is so awesome....
Post by: patrickstefanski on October 14, 2010, 02:44:53 PM
Monday night in NYC he is playing downtown and letting attendees go up on stage and jam with him.  First come, first serve.

Needless to say I'll be jetting out of work way early, and sitting there quite early.

BBOOOYYAHHHH!

say you did get up there and get to jam with him.  What would you play? A phish tune, an original, some random song?

Apparently they supply the instruments...and they try to rotate in as many players as possible all night.
I'm hoping for 5 good minutes.

YER, whatever i can play, will most likely be a long jam i assume


phishlips here you go...

Think I'm gonna have a few people come too, at least one other guitar player.  Not to be a dick but I'm actually trying NOT to tell people about it!  Hahaahaha, this is gonna be fun though.

That was the coolest moment of my life.
Video uploading.

I could hear myself in the monitor, but you definitely can't hear me at all on the video, oh well, still an awesome night.

joe russo was a surprise. a very pleasant surprise.

Mike was super cool, he was standing by the entrance thanking everyone for coming out.  A real class act.
Phishlips was there too!  He came a little late and didn't make it up on stage, but i got shake hands with another SD-frequenter, so that was good.

sick Patrick! You jammed with Gordo, how fuckin' cool is that?

Yeah, that was a real good time last night.  A little bummed that I didn't get to jam, missed the cutoff by 2 people...oh well.  Not the end of the world.  Still really cool just to be that close to the action, and great to meet Patrick too.  Some good players and some just ok moments but for the most part everybody that got up there was just wankin it as hard as they could for as long as they were up there.  Pretty cool.  And Joe Russo was a lot of fun to watch.

Yeah man, likewise, sorry I couldn't hang longer.  My gf has been working ridiculous hours lately, she was bushed.
