Nina Vickers Dedication

Patino & Mikael on the Porch beside Nina's Garden

We were really honored to be asked to take part in the garden dedication honoring the life of Nina Vickers.  Though neither Patino or I ever met Nina in person (other than seeing her in her Lobster costume in Salem, MA), we feel humbled & inspired by the amount of life she was able to lead and the way her life improved the lives of those around her.  Thank you Nina for setting such a great example of a life lived to the fullest.  More pictures of the dedication ceremony…

Mik in the Ambulance

Yup.. I had a great time for the 1st night of my bachelor party up until about 2:30am when I ran into the wrong kunuck.. what can ya’ do, I don’t fault the good people of Montreal but I would like about 3 minutes alone with two of their citizens..  Luckily, the layoff will be a short one and Henry Terrones is covering the low-end for us handedly.. Thanks Henry.  My thanks also to Gilberto for takin’ a sucker punch from the other kunuck and all my boys for hooking up a great weekend regardless.. Bright side, I had a great time just singing and playin’ MO COWBELL at Johnny D’s last week and the doc says it won’t be long.. I’m hopin’ to be back on my bass full time by the mid July.. I’ll also be resurrecting my ol’ doghouse acoustic very soon thanks to some direction from Timo Shanko.. Thanks everyone for the well wishes.. Mik
