It was probably one of the best times I have ever had. I was in great company, enjoyed some really good food, and drunk a bunch of different local beers, all while listening to Mike Love tare it up on stage. It felt like a personal show. Even though there were only about 50 people there he didn't hold back at all and put everything he had into the music he performed. This guy is extremely talented!!
He has played in multiple different countries, but this was his first time ever coming to Kentucky. I'm glad I got the opportunity to be there for it. The tickets were only $12(crazy low) so whatever I make on this post will go toward the ticket.
Here is a picture of me and Mike!
I HATE taking pictures, but I'm proud of this one so I had to post it! I'm definitely kinda drunk. Haha The beer there was so good.
Let me give a little background on Mike Love!
He was born in Hawaii on an island called O’ahu and comes from multiple generations of musicians, so this guy never really had a choice but to be good. All of the music he creates comes from a spiritual place and you can definitely tell when he is performing. He has a VERY positive message of trying to promote and spread nothing but peace and love.
People may not know who he is now, but someone as talented as him wont be small for long, give it time.
Here is a shirt and poster that I got signed by him and his drummer.
I love the art work on these.
He spelled my name wrong on the poster after us talking for awhile. I guess it will just make for a good story!
I also got some good footage. I was within arms reach of them for most of the time him and his drummer were performing. The song he is performing is "Permanent Holiday". Check out the video. His dreds are almost touching the floor!!
It was a great time! I'm glad I got to share this cool experience with my Steemit family!
I'll leave you with one of the first videos I got exposed to by him. Definitely different. Enjoy!
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I had fun putting it together, kinda relived it again!

WTF! How can this post only have 2 other upvotes aside from mine and your upvote!? What a shame!!! You put a lot of work into this post, obviously. You deserve more author rewards.
HERE, HAVE A 100% UPVOTE AND A RESTEEM!!!
Wish I could upvote it 50 times for ya.
While I'm thinking about it, did you do an introduce yourself post? If you haven't you really should do that and flesh it out really well. Tell a lot about yourself and post a few pictures of yourself while you're at it. Especially one of you holding a piece of paper with your Steemit username and stuff. When/if you do that, text me and I will resteem it and upvote it 100% for ya.
You put way too much heart into this platform to get so little!!!
Best of luck to ya man, glad to see some new pictures of ya, dude!
COME VISIT US SOON, COUSIN!!!

Yeah I was pretty bummed out about it, but now I just pulled it up and cracked a big smile! Thanks!
I've been meaning to do an introductory post but I keep avoiding it, I hate talking about myself and what not. I really do need to just do it and get it over with.
I need to come up before I start school in August!

Steal this picture I took of you guys and use it when you make your intro post! But use a lot of pictures and make it personal, ya know? Study up on some successful intro posts and toy with their format.
I never made an intro post either haha, I know where you're coming from. You know how I am about pictures of me, I hate them! And I hate talking about myself even more.

Hahaha What a night that was!!! That picture says a lot.
Good advice, I will definitely do that. Pictures are always the last thing I want to do. So unphotogenic!

You're definitely photogenic, dude. Me on the otherhand, I'm certainly not. It's why I'm always the dude BEHIND the camera. I always end up looking super weird and awkward.

No problem, dude. It bums me out seeing some people trying really hard to success on this platform and having a hard time. Jessie here (@intrepidthinker ), my cousin, goes hard and I want to see him do awesome on here. He definitely deserves more attention than what he gets. Thanks for noticing!

This is what got me to start my curation trail in the first place. :)
Not being able to support new authors with my own tiny SP it feels great to be able to now that the trail has grown in size!

Yeah, it really does. That's why I'm focusing more on voting on smaller time folks so that I can hopefully give them a bit of hope in the platform. Sure, I could vote more in high rollers and get better curation rewards, but I'd rather do good!

Bad ass indeed!! I'm glad to get Mike Love a little more notoriety too, he was a cool ass guy with a positive message. I'm pretty sure he is doing everything independently. He needs to make a Steemit account!
