Comments:I don't know how to post on the Max page, but here goes
anyway.

He was a terrific and rather eccentric dog. But I would
be alittle weird if I lived with Rick too. (no offense
Janis) I'm alittle sorry now that I asked Max if he
wanted to go for a ride when I knew full well he couldn't
come with. He was a great dog! Thanks for giving
him a great home.

I just wanted to wish you a happy new Year !
I see your life seems to have changed with your motorbike ! What lovely pictures of your trips !
It's certainly a nice way of discovering the countryside,
There are so many bikers in Florida too; they often gather at rock concerts, they have their own world, their own cafes, their shops, etc...
I am not yet in Fla now but will be there mid January till Feb 7.

All my best wishes for this coming year Rick ! Keep healthy and be careful on your bike !!

Hey, we couldn't even bring in umbrellas !!Darian Lakes stage had quit a compound- all the buses and trucks were inside a gated area. I don't know if anyone got in to talk to anybody. My daughter said she saw women chasing a limo after the show ended. It must have been a Hall and Oates thing. I don't think the McDonald bunch run in limos- but I could be wrong.

Great work on your website! The pictures are fantatstic! I usually don't have much time to myself to spend on the computer, but I always make sure I check to see what's going on with Michael. I've been a fan since the 70's,and finally went to my first concert on 12/05/04 in New Brunswick. I couldn't believe that I was acutally there. He is truly gifted. It makes me feel good to know that so many other people feel the same way I do about Michael and his music.
I'm happy to say that I will be attending the concert on July 9th in Homdel. Our seats are great! We are in section 103, Row D. Looking forward to meeting some other McBuddies that night.
Keep up the good work.

- a message from the UK

We have amassed a large number of our own pics of Mike and the band plus many that we have received from fans for the McD fanzine - particularly from Europe.

We were going to post them on a UK website but you do such a great job I wouldn't want to do anything that would detract from your established website. Its nice to put a face to the Gbook postings and you've obviously put a lot of effort into this.

Would you like some posting here? I don't want to swamp you, so let me know.

I'm away for an Easter break now for a week but you can mail me if you like, and I'll get to work on them when I return. They'll be web ready for you if you let me know an appropriate size - pics per page etc.

all our best

Comments:Okay, that's it. I'm going to borrow someone's camera and take some pictures. Bonnie's cat looks just like my Joey from the back. And Patty's cat is so cute too, black and white, lounging around like cats do. But I now have a dog (Baby's her name) of my own since last summer, and I never thought I would love a dog. I never had one before. Funny thing is, I didn't pick her, she picked me. The woman in the next house lost her husband in 9/11 and has two little ones, a dove, two rabbits and a female German Shepard (sp?). She couldn't get any help and moved away and left the Shepard behind. This dog could have only known me by my voice over the fence of our backyards, but she knew my sister for 10 years. I heard her crying night after night and went over with my sister, the door wasn't locked and she came straight to me (and I was scared because I was bit by my sister's dog that summer). But one look in her eyes and it was all over. She's been mine ever since. Anyway, Rick... you must really be something (is he, Janis?). That picture of M and B made me laugh!
All the best to you and family. (I mean it, I'm going to take some pictures!) Thanks for your work on this page, Rick. I love to look at everyone's pictures and the most recent one made me laugh as much as Michael's journal entry!

Comments:Hey Rick & Janis,
This is the first time to post on your site. I have always checked out the pics. The pics are great. Keep up the good work.
I am going to be at the Houston concert March 5. I couldn't believe Mike picked up a gig at this late date. I have been begging and praying that he would have one close to Austin that didn't cost so much. I hated missing the opportunity so see him again and possibly meeting him. He is so great. Julie Marshall told me to keep praying and I did. See what happens when you want something bad enough. Now, I just hope I get to meet him there. I am also hoping to meet some McBuddies there as well. I can't wait.
Thanks for doing this for all of us.

I hope there are many more Mike Fests in our future -- next time I'll wear sneakers and bring an umbrella, for when we wait in the rain in the alley by the dumpsters! (There's gotta be a better way!)

I've written a couple of messages to you that have been returned--address too long, or no one known at that address (I've got http://) So, I'm writing you here.

Thanks so very much for inviting me to be a part of the MMcD "fan club" @ the Riverside, and possibly meeting Michael for the first time. I'll be in Pit A (the "uncheap seats") & will recognize you from your photos and cowboy hat. I'm thrilled to be getting messages from you, Julie Marshall, and Peg J....WOW!...the inner circle! Peg told me she bought her tickets for the San Diego concert there, directly. I've found out the name of hte show there is "Once a Doobie, Always a Doobie!) Have a safe flight, and will talk to you later. EL

Many thanks for creating such a wonderful site for all of Michael's fans, who crave to see him. I see you're coming to Milwaukee in Oct. How about Chicago? I can't find any sites that have tickets for sale---can you help? By the way, do you have contact with MMcD? How can I get to meet him, after a concert in Milw.? Any response would be appreciated. Thanks!

I would dearly love to contribute to this site, but unfortunately MM shows no sign of touring Australia in the distant future. Next time you happened to be "rubbing shoulders" with him, hopefully you might put in a good word for me and of course all the other fans here in oz. You guys are so lucky having him touring the U.S all the time. Keep up the good work and I will keep looking at your site for updates.
Thanks heaps and stay well.

Comments:Hey! Why is my post pink (or whatever) and everyone else's is green? Have no idea what I did wrong. Let's hope this one is okay (it would be too funny if it's not!). Well Rick, I'm all over the place tonight. Checked in at Michael's and Bernie's too. I've really gotten attached to these dogs of my sister's now. I've never had dogs, only a cat. But I can really see how they are different from cats. They really know you and love you. To my cat, my name is "can-opener". I still love him, though. I never came across a pet with so many names as Boomer has. Boomer, Booms, The Beast, Beastie Boy, The Brick House, oh, he is something. I took the little Squirt out for a walk the other day. The first time I ever took a dog out for a walk by myself. He pooped and a person said "Are you just going to leave that there!?" (I live in the city, you know.) I got all nervous and said, "Well, I didn't bring anything to clean it up with...". He said, "I'll give you something...he can't poop in front of my house." (It wasn't in front of his house. It was by a tree in the dirt near the curb--in my own defense!). My little nephew was with me and I said, "Georgie, hold him" while I started to clean it. Then (all nervous) I said, "Well, where am I going to put it? In your garbage?" He said yes that was okay (I was glad I didn't have to carry it back to the house with me). Geez...next time I have to carry all kinds of things just to walk the dog. Summer in the city with the doggies... catch you later, Rick!

But I just want to say thank you for putting your website up for someone like me to take total advantage of and never tell you how much I like it. By the way, you have a beautiful house out in GA. It's so nice of you to offer your backyard for a "Mikefest" (cause I think you really mean it!). You guys are wonderful! Max (the wonder dog) looks pretty cute. But you should see my Joey. He's a cat and he's gray and white. One day I'll send you a picture of him in a bow tie, he'll look great in that! My sister, Lorraine, has dogs and a bird (lots of "free birds" out here in the trees--I don't like that she keeps the bird in a cage--but he (or she) was born in it). One day they'll find it gone--or maybe not...). She's got a basset hound whose name is Boomer, for obvious reasons (I call him the brick S***house (also for obvious reasons--I'm not used to dogs). And they have a little black mixed breed called Squirt (It'll be a riot if we ever all wind up in the basement trying to utilize the duct-tape!)All my best,Linda Thanks for sharing your stuff.
