mikeFEST!!!™ XXIX 2011 is (almost) now!

Turn off, tune up and drop by. 

The 29th annual mikeFEST!!!™ is (almost) now. Get off your computer. Get out of the house – just pretend you’re in an 80s horror movie and your phone line’s been cut – and, get out of the house before it’s too late. Shut down, wake up, come out and play. Disconnect to reconnect. You can do it.

mikeFEST!!!™ is a time for real contact with real people – most of whom you haven’t seen for a while or have yet to meet. It’s a time to reconnect, pre-connect, regroup and recharge. To put your troubles behind you or share them with friends over a beer or in song. Come to an event or several. If you can’t make it, have your own mikeFEST!!!™ - wherever you are. mikeFEST!!!™ is ‘everywhere you wanna be’ and anywhere you feel it.

So, take off your socks and run in the grass (or down a bowling lane) and help make mikeFEST!!!™ XXIX the best mikeFEST!!!™ ever! You can do it. Here’s the score and the schedule. Enjoy and be happy:

The schedule is, in the true spirit of mikeFEST!!!™, subject to change, hyperbolic inflation and eventual rose-colored revision, achieving any detail sometimes only after-the-fact - with the last four days still an almost complete mystery to even yours truly. Read: stay tuned for details. Waiting will fill.

Huge thanks to Christophe for yet another fantastic poster, to Willy Windsor for a great pre-mikeFEST!!!™ party tonight – best of luck today with that Kate chick from Middletown or whomever you were worried about! Remember the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree ;) And thanks to all and sundry (you know who you are) for the tremendous support I’ve received thus far in order to barely pull this off. A celebration of procrastination naturally elicits logistical difficulties, so what do you expect?

The best mikeFEST!!!™ ever. That’s what.

Feel free to contact my people about franchising and investment opportunities.

Thanks and happy mikeFEST!!!™
